the Midwest and Southern railway story

We're not in Colorado

The year was 2019. The engines and employees of the the Midwest and Southern railway or the MW&S were getting ready to celebrate 150 years of operation.

"Wow I cant believe its been 150 years already" Porter the small shunter engine said. "I remember when the railway first opened. That was a party let me tell you".

"Yeah you would know" replied Porter's brother Joe. "I hope this party is good."

"What's going on here?" A large booming voice said.

"Oh its nothing Mack" replied a scared Porter.

"Ok well the others will be here in about 3 hours so lets get going and clean this place up." The large k-37 class locomotive known as Mack said.

Que Thomas and friends music.

Let me take a minute to tell you about the railway. The railway spans about 110 miles from Calhoun city, Colorado to the towns of Pinewood, Timber Gulch, and Durango Colorado. There are 10 locomotives that run the railway. The locomotives are Porter an 0-4-0 locomotive built in the 1800s by the Porter Locomotive company. Next is his brother Joe who is 0-4-2 Porter locomotive built by the same company. Then there are the twins named Dutch and Lady Elgin who are 0-6-2 locomotive built by the D&RG as class 45 locomotives modified by the MW&S railway. Next there are the 3 freight engines Mack, Cass, and Dakota. Two being class k-28 locomotives and one being a class k-37. Finally there are the logger engines Case, Bulldog, and Ephraim. Case and Bulldog where climax locomotives and Ephraim being a huge class E shay locomotive (a class E shay is a locomotive with 5 cylinders and 4 powered 3 axel trucks). The railway runs logs from the towns of Pinewood and Timber Gulch to Calhoun city to be milled in to lumber. Then it is taken by other railways to places around the world.

Soon the other engines of the railway arrived at the main yard in Calhoun city and started to party with workers. After partying for hours, everyone left except the engines and the owner of the railway Mr. Sam Morgen.

"How is everything engines? Did you enjoy the party?" Sam asked the locomotives.

"It was great Sam" replied Ephraim.

"Great to" but Sam never got to finish his sentence because out of no where a huge bolt of lightening struck down right in the center of the yards. In an instant Sam and the locomotives ,along with everything else in the yard including the tracks, vanished into thin air.

Soon Sam woke up and looked around. The engines were out cold but what he saw made his blood run cold. Only a short distance away was a town he very much recognized.

"Well, we aren't in Colorado anymore!" Sam said.

There in front of him was Ponyville. A place he know well thanks to the engines loving the TV show My Little Pony.

Suddenly Sam heard what sounded like a yawn as Joe woke up.

"What's going on?" asked Joe as he woke up. "What the hell."

"Oh shit" was all Sam could say as the other engines woke up to Joe's yelling.

All Sam could do was wait and try to calm down his engines. Sam looked around only to think how it was possible for him and his engines to some how be teleported to the country of Equestria.
