Modernization had finally completely taken hold. There was neither sight nor sound of steam engines in service. It was all diesels and electrics - engines similar to him.

Shouldn’t he be happy about that?

Steam engines terrified him. Sometimes, he still thought back to that yard full of rot. The sidings packed with dying locomotives, all screaming about how horrible engines like him were.

Didn’t he want them put out of their misery?

Even now, as he coasted down the main line, his mind raced. Thinking about how two years ago, a steam engine would’ve been heading this very train.

It didn’t feel right.

He glanced up at the station quickly approaching. Another engine pulled out as he neared. They hooted a cheerful greeting. 261’s reply was much less enthusiastic.

He whistled through the station, taking brief notice of Diesel 701 standing, waiting as passengers boarded his coaches. 261 wondered for a second if 701 knew the engine he’d replaced. If he’d ever gotten to meet them.

He likely hadn’t. 701 had always hated steam engines. He’d been elated to hear that they were on the chopping block. 261 could remember the night they’d talked about the fate of steam.

“Personally, I can’t wait.” 701 had said. “I almost wish I could drag some of those rusty, sooty old bastards into the scrapyards m’self. That’s some shunting I wouldn’t mind doing.”

261 grimaced, recalling the way 701 had chuckled - a laugh full of malice and bloodthirst.

The ‘Whistler’, as people called him, glanced past 701, taking notice of an odd shape amidst the discarded wagons in the sidings. The shape looked rusty and worn. 261 didn’t get a better look, as he was soon long past the station, once again alone with his thoughts.

i want more movies on others based about the past

we are getting a book based on them but i also want a movie version of it since i'm not into books, i want to know how they used to deal with things when they were younger before Queen Clarion made it a law to never enter the winter woods and same with winter fairies to never cross the warmer side of pixie hollow...untill Tinkerbell broke it of course

like i mentioned in my another post earlier, i want a movie about how this random fairy dealt with a critical situation, even if it ended bad

a movie based on the history between the humans and the fairies before Tinkerbell and her friends were born, we only saw a deleted scene when Lizzy's dad was her age and there's this fanfic based on that deleted scene but i want it to turn it into a movie instead

i want a movie based on Vidia's past why she reacted the way she did, especially the first movie, we all have our own theories on Vidia here so i want a movie completely based on Vidia

i want a Periwinkle movie based on how she deals with things before she met Tinkerbell and her friends like how she collect lost things, going to the mainland a few months later to change fall into winter etc

i don't have the book but i did saw a YouTuber who explained everything and read what it was said in a book and allthough i still want this to turn it into a movie, i'm curious how the Mainland fairies deals with things and how the king knew about Queen Clarion and Lord Milori...i can imagine Queen Clarion made it a law to never enter this academy thingy for Tinker fairies and same with Mainland fairies to never enter the Neverland...i can imagine for that reason Tinker fairies aren't allowed to go on the Mainland because Tinker fairies get too curious about things (Vidia kind of pointed it out in "The Great Fairy Rescue" movie by saying "this my dear is exactly why Tinkers shouldn't have come to the Mainland" at the time she was looking out for Tinkerbell)

a movie based on how Queen Clarion was before becoming a Queen i can't think of other movies based about the past but these are what i came up with

I see crazy shit happening on the mainland on the news. And as a result I sometimes feel like Hawaii should secede to escape it. Granted we have a legitimate excuse due to the Hawaiian Kingdom being overthrown by the sugar barons and later being annexed by the United States. But still, I feel like mainland and federal government is a sinking ship and Hawaii should just leave. At least the people of Hawaii can swim.
