Description "Ah, Parcel train, hurrah! Where's it to, driver?" Cried C1 that morning. She was excited to pull a mail train, it was fitted, and the vans wouldn't push her around like the normal trucks, vans, and wagons.
"Southampton, it's ocean mail. Now come along!" Replied her engine driver. An hour or so later, they arrived at the Southern's giant dockyard, and C1 remembered what happened last time.
'O-okay... Keep your pressure down, don't want to offend any more ships... Ohhh...' She thought, rolling down the quayside, wheels grinding and biting into the tight dock rails with a painful squeal. Sea breezes calmy whistled around her jacketing, and swirled her smoke up high. They'd just come to a stop, when C1 was startled by loud coughing, and let off a hiss of steam in surprise.


Okay, so after stumbling across an old White Star poster, saying Southampton to New Your, and thinking about ships reacting to steam loco smoke, I had to.

C1.

She's the only one of her class to not be cut up by BR.

Funny you should make this as I was just reading about its sister ship Titanic. Real shame Olympic was scrapped after the sinking of its sister ships Titanic and Britannic.

Olympic was the only one of her class to ever have a chance at life, which is definitely a true shame.

At least it ain't a Western Rails port, the harbors we have are generally played with steam and smog.

Wait until you see the worst port, it makes the air pollution in CHINA smell like fresh air.

{No worries, things aren't historically accurate for me either.}
