A NYC Hudson of the 21st Century Locomotive Charaters

Here's something for you railfans of the site would like I'm working on MLPEQG/Thomas & Friends crossover story that has both worlds in one universe. In this story all class 1 Railroads have steam fleets including CSX, CN, KCS, and CP. All the engines will be engines that survived and still running today or scraped. Here's the list. Enjoy.

CSX heritage- New York Central, Western Maryland, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio, Pere Marquette, Atlantic Coast Line, Seabord Airline, Louisville & Nashville, Nashville Chattanooga & St.Louis, Monon, Atlanta & West Point, and Clinchfeild Railroads. But the list is not yet complete so I got a few engines including the hero of the story Who's a 21st Century built Hudson.

[The Blue EM2]

So, a mix of originals and replicas?

[SonicStreak5344]

Well all of them except the one with my name are originals. There's going to be 65 steam locomotives in the CSX. Also Twilight is going to be my OC's Engineer since she's volenteering on the CSX's Steam Program with her friends and Thomas and his friends will show up later on.
