Arthur's ghost appearance is based on Timothy the Ghost Engine, which is a famous Thomas the Tank Engine myth.All of the E2s were scrapped, with none surviving into preservation.Īppearances The Stories of Sodor Season 1 During their final working years, the E2 class worked as shunting engines at Southampton Docks, until they were replaced by the BR Class 07 diesel shunters. These engines were built by Brighton Works between 1913-1916 to replace the aging Stroudley E1 class and were primarily used for heavy shunting and short-distance freight trains in the London area and on the south coast. Unlike Arthur, his ghost is based on the LB&SCR Class E2 0-6-0T, particularly the second batch of locomotives built with extended side-tanks. Unlike Arthur, his ghost is painted in silver livery with red lining and the number 0 on his tanks in yellow. When it arrived, Zorro spoke to the ghost, saying that he got an express engine to take Arthur's train for him and saying that he could go after that, the ghost vanished.īy the time Edward is telling the stories in present day, the engines had never seen Arthur's ghost since, but as Edward points out, "Who's to say we never won't?" So, that night at Maron Edward, Toby, Zorro, Diesel, Lily, and Mickey waited to confront the ghost train. Zorro, who was only convinced to help by Diesel. Things began to get worse and when told of the events of Percy's encounter, Toby believed that the train was doomed to repeat the events that led to Arthur's death and interrupting the events might send the ghost away, with the help of a very reluctant Mr.

Reginald came up soon afterward, but just as he was about to crash into the ghost's brake coach the whole train disappeared. Then, a woman tried to peer into one of the coaches and became so shocked by what she saw, she was committed to an insane asylum. Thinking this was a regular engine, the stationmaster went to speak with the crew but got no response. Word began to spread, and more people began to see it along the line, however, Edward remained skeptical.Īt least that was until a few nights later when he was waiting at Maron for Reginald to arrive with his passenger train.

Percy then heard the sound of a train crash, but when he went to investigate, nothing was found. One winter's night in 1937, Percy was pulling a coal train up the Wellsworth side of Gordon's hill when the ghost raced past in the opposite direction. It was said that on the week Arthur died, he will return as a ghost trying to pass the area where he crashed. The icy rails, low visibility and the steep downgrade of the hill caused him to crash. He sped down the line, desperate to preserve his spotless record. Fortunately I was one of them.Late one night in the winter of 1923, Arthur was late leaving Maron. Only the attentive figured it out and were able to rush over from Roma Termini to Roma Tiburtina to catch the train. Although I have been in a situation where in Rome they changed the station, yes the station, not just the platform, of a Eurocity at the last moment, within an hour of departure. The operations folks getting their wish come true! Just run the railroad with no pesky passengers to worry about :lol:ĭon't we have dozens of ushers falling over each other at Penn Station to make sure that passengers get on the right train? Were they all out to lunch or something like that?Īnd what exactly did the Conductors think? The passengers have gone on strike? Afterall they did have the passenger rosters with them, didn't they? I wonder if Amtrak management will hold anyone responsible for this silliness, or just find some reason to excuse all, level things as they are and go merrily on with life.įrankly, I have never heard of an airline pull this sort of a stunt, just forgetting to board passengers, even in Africa.
