Harvest Moon was a new-hire for the Everfree and Northwestern mining company. He was to be the new keeper of the switchpony's shack on the odd months. However, his new position might just be a little more the meets the eye.

A royal service can be many things. Weather it be of military origin, or just a lowly farmer growing apples. The rising industrial might of Equestria needed to be shown off. The country's beside needed to know that the ponies were nipping at their heels, and they were closing in fast. Smoke Stack was told to make the most influential run of his entire life... will he and his firepony be able to do it? Will they be able to break 100 miles per hour?

Please note the cover art is something I found off google images. Represented is the MR's Hiawatha Hudson, which is what the locomotive in this story is based on.

As Rainbow Dash flies through the sky in the late afternoon, she spots something she knows Fluttershy would love to see...

This was written by a good friend of mine, Call-Me-Jack on Deviantart. He told me I could post this after I bugged the living crap out of him, telling him it was excellent in every way.

Warning: You must read PegasusKlondike's War of the Fallen Race for this to make any sense. (located here on fimfic).

We have been gone for 2000 years. Human kinds achievements have long since turned to dust in that time. The only things that remain are the things we kept with us in the Stronghold. They helped us in the past, they are here once again to aid their creator, but this time, we will not forget them as we once did all those years ago...

Done with the permission of PegasusKlondike, I have started this spinoff of 'War of the Fallen race'.

Minor swearing is included but not enough to warrant a teen content rating (very well could change in the future).

Slight update: Finally got a cover picture drawn. Ya it looks crappy right now (took it with my laptops webcam) but will have a decent scan done on it in the next few days.
