Before the railway grew, There was only one engine. There were a few stops on the line and a small shed. The engine that worked there was called Dan. He loved his little life, as fun things happened every day. Every morning, Dan would stop at his first station. The controller would arrive with his wife and son, and they would get into the first coach, David.
Then, the dubbed, "Busy man" would kiss his wife goodbye as he boarded Clara, the second coach.
They were very young at the time. And the guard would be sitting on the platform by Dan, munching on a small snack his mother packed him, he was still in his teens after all. "What do you have there?" Asked Dan every day. And he would always reply, "Why, it's fish and chips of course!" And he would then hop into Henry, the brake coach.
And they would set off. But that soon changed when the controller was forced to expand the railway, and a few more engines were brought on. They were mostly bigger than Dan besides a shunter. Dan worked his hardest on the new mainline. But he began to be used less and less. Finally, he was put in the shed to watch the other engines work.
