Chapter #5: Origins of the Ghost Train

Planet Earth, location UK island of Sodor 

On the island of Sodor it has been raining, and missed coming. Making the place seem spookier almost as have ghost s were like roaming the place.

Jaune Arc didn't actually believe in a concept of ghost existing. Sure he remember seeing creatures of Grimms on his planet, but the supernatural was something beyond anything's expectation.

Sure, he hurt a lot of stories about ghosts from Edward, the old wise engine of Sodor remembering some of the most unusual and scariest ones. I can actually give people a fright. 

However, he didn't realize that there is a ghost train on the island of Sodor haunting the rails, one that almost looks similar to the number one blue e2 tank engine. 

Once upon a time, there was an engine who use to work on Sodor, long before Thomas came in 1915. The story went something like this.

Early one night, there was a steam engine waiting at the docks to take his passengers home. He had a similar shape like Thomas with six small wheels except he was painted sliver and had the number zero on his side. His name was Timothy. He was an old but kind engine with broad smile and wrinkles at the end of his mouth. All of the passengers climbed on board the coaches and guard blew his whistle.

Timothy's driver: All steam ahead Timothy!

Timothy: Sure thing!

And with that, the little engine set off. Timothy was soon puffing down the line in the countryside, with the rails humming and the carriages clattered behind him. The moon was full, the signals were down and the wind was blowing gracefully. As they approach the first station... it happened. The driver applied the brakes but Timothy kept on going and shot passed the station. He started going faster and faster.

Timothy's driver: Timothy! What are you doing?!

Timothy didn't answer. He just kept on going. Suddenly they were switched onto the wrong line, heading away from the mainline. Then the driver and fireman saw in horror that they were heading towards a cliff where a viaduct was to be built.

Timothy's driver: TIMOTHY DON'T! YOU WILL KILL US ALL!

He and the fireman scrambled and fiddled with the controls, desperately trying their best to stop him but it was not use. Timothy had a very scary but angry, evil and aggressive look, his eyes were black with tiny red ires with zombie like teeth.

Timothy's (Evil and Demonic): I'M GONNA SEND YOU ALL THE GRAVEYARD!!!!

as he charged to the edge of the cliff. Timothy crashed threw the blockade and he, along with his crew, the coaches and passengers fell to their deaths below.

There was no eye witnesses and no survivors... the wreck was found by the workmen but they couldn't identify who the engine was due to being blown up and charred. When investigates came, they had very little evidence to go on. But the bodies of both driver and fireman were found and they thought that they had tried to save the locomotive and the passengers but couldn't in time. Investigators ruled it as a normal tragic train accident with mechanical failure to the controls as the course of the crash.

Years later, the construction the viaduct was commenced... however after the rails where laid and the final works to it were being made, many workmen and railway staff reported seeing a ghost train rushing by, whistling fit to burst and cursing in a demonic voice before screaming into the darkness and disappearing. But these supernatural occurrences did not come often. However many witnesses didn't know that it was the ghost of Timothy, haunting the viaduct but nobody really knew whether to believe it or not... but it was, according to those who had heard about the story.

And every year on the date of his of suicidal accident, Timothy runs again, as warning to others, plunging into gap, shrieking like a lost soul...
