The majority of engines on Universal Lines are steam powered. Farnsworth, and Jeff are the only two exceptions. While Jeff is a switcher who occasionally helps Doc rescue other engines that either broke down, ou derailed, Jeff is normally used for short freights, and maintenance work. Farnsworth is a bigger diesel that only pulls the express. Rachael, one of the new engines, always admired Farnsworth for his sleek design, and wanted to pull the express just like him.
Rachael: *Stops suivant to Farnsworth at Basic Station* Hi Farnsworth.
Farnsworth: Oh. It's you. *Looks away from her*
Rachael: You're so handsome and strong.
Farnsworth: Yes, yes, toi a dit that 64 times today.
Rachael: 65 actually.
Farnsworth: I'm sure toi mean well, but don't toi think you're obsession over me is a little...unsetting?
Rachael: *Drooling while blushing* I don't know what you're talking about.
Farnsworth: Well it's just that. toi make me feel uncomfortable.
Conductor: All aboard!
Farnsworth: Goodbye. *Leaves Basic with his train*
Rachael: Uncomfortable huh? Well, maybe he'll change his mind when I start pulling the same train as him.
After dropping off her boxcar at another depot in Basic, Rachael had to take a passenger train from Weston to Owensville. Her journey would start all the way at St. David's Station. Rachael was assigned to 3 coaches, just like Farnsworth's express.
Rachael: If I see him before stopping at Basic, I can montrer off my speed. That'll make him feel better towards me.
Conductor: All aboard!
Rachael: *Blows her whistle, and pulls her train, but her wheels slip* Mmmh. *Stops slipping, and increases speed* I can't let him see me do that. He'll think I'm a failure.
But with only two drive wheels, Rachael wouldn't have much of an opportunity to control her grip. She would have a difficult journey going up colline through the mountain. She started the climb after making a station stop in Newtown.
Rachael: *Departs Newtown station* Well, at least the grade here isn't as steep as Basic.
She couldn't go fast, but Rachael still had an easy time climbing the mountain.
Rachael: *Stops at Basic Station*
Farnsworth: *Stops suivant to Rachael*
Rachael: Hi Farnsworth. Check it out. I'm pulling 3 passenger cars just like you.
Farnsworth: It's too bad they made toi stop here. Your climb up the mountain could have been easier.
Rachael: That's no problem. I'll make it up and over without any problems, and then toi won't feel uncomfortable around me anymore.
Farnsworth: What are toi saying?
Rachael: I'm doing this to prove to toi that we can be plus than friends.
Farnsworth: toi don't have to montrer off in order to get my attention. I like you, but what you're doing is making me feel even plus uncomfortable.
Rachael: Is it?
Farnsworth: Yes. Just, try to take it easy on the compliments, and charm. You're a nice engine, but I think it's best if toi leave me alone for about two days.
Rachael: Okay. If that's really what toi think is best.
The conductor called, and Rachael had to leave. Farnsworth watched while waiting for plus passengers.
Rachael: *Sadly watching Farnsworth while pulling her train* I guess now I gotta focus on that mountain.
She passed the village where Tillie stopped to deliver Eric's birthday train.
Rachael: *Gulps while nervously looking at the hill* This is the heaviest train I've ever pulled up here.
Passenger 35: *Drinking water*
Passenger 23: *Looking at the trees* Are we slowing down?
Passenger 31: I'm sure our engine is getting us over this colline with ease.
Rachael: *Sweating while pulling her 3 coaches* I can make it. *Looks at her wheels going slower* I can make it. *Slips* Ah!
Rachael slowed down, but wasn't going to give up just yet.
Rachael: *Blushing* Almost there. *Stops slipping as she makes it to the top* Now I just gotta climb another part of the mountain, and I should be on flat terrain.
The terrain started to get steep again. Rachael slipped while pulling her train.
Rachael: I can make it. *Stops while her wheels slip faster* I'm so close!
Her two drive wheels spun helplessly while her big cylinders poured out a lot of steam.
Rachael: Mmm! So! Close! *Breaks down* Ah.
Rachael was taken to Owensville par Sayaka for repairs. During her time in the shop, Farnsworth arrived.
Farnsworth: I heard toi broke down.
Rachael: I guess I should have listened to toi earlier. Not only with the mountain, but also with how I've been acting.
Farnsworth: Water under the bridge. Once toi get out, we can hang out.
Rachael: I'd like that very much.
Farnsworth: I need to go, but I'll see toi later.
Rachael watched Farnsworth leaving the repairs shop. After the shiny diesel left, Rachael felt better about herself, knowing things between her and Farnsworth were okay.
