Talk:Disneyland Railroad/@comment-35756382-20190605230614

I imagine the engines on this railroad as anthropomorphic characters:


 * 1: C.K. Holiday; I have named this engine Casey (both as a play on the initials and after a girl who I had a crush on in Freshman and Sophomore years of high school). Casey is a lovely young lady engine, she is 17 years old (engines age differently than humans), and is the older sister to Ripley. She works well with her engineers and firemen and cherishes Disneyland as her home sweet home. Walt Disney is the best human she has ever known. She is the only girl.


 * 2: E.P. Ripley; I have named this engine Ripley. He is the younger brother to Casey and is a hardworking and kind young man. He is one year younger than Casey at 16 years old, but that doesn't stop him from working as hard as her. The two get along well but have been known to have fall outs with each other. They are still good siblings and care for one another.


 * 3: Fred Gurley; I have named this engine Fred. He is the oldest engine who works on the line (somewhere in his 70's or 80's) and has taken the two young engines under his side rods as his adoptive grandchildren. He is a kindly, sweet, and elderly old engine and takes kindly to any engineer or fireman crew that runs him, giving him the reputation of arguably being the best engine to work with on the line.


 * 4: Ernest S. Marsh; I have named this engine Ernest. He is the second oldest engine on the line (in his mid-50's) He is very much a hard worker and businessman and sees his passenger runs as no mere recreational activity like the other engines do. He can come off as a snooty worker who is uptight and serious, but he means well and becomes more cheerful whenever he is visited by young railfans. He is also a friend to Fred.


 * 5: Ward Kimball; I have named this engine Ward. He is the newest and youngest engine on the line ( 9 or 10 years old). He is very much a young engine and is a good friend to Ripley...and has a soft spot for Casey. He sometimes can be a fun loving engine, but his emotions can turn on a dime and he can become either bored with his work or angry with his engineer, leading to his reputation as the moodiest engine on the line. He sometimes wishes that he was a monorail so he could see more of the Disneyland Resort, but his friendship with Ripley and his feelings for Casey keep him on the railroad.

Hope you all like these :)
