The Island where my new series will take place.
The Island where my new series will take place.
Previously, on the second update...

I said I was going to make a new series, and that it would take place on an Island named Errol. I did some work on where to put it, and it's right by the state of California. The top picture, shows the island, and where it's located. The bottom picture, is the island itself.

Bottom map information

The black lines indicate the Eastern Pacific tracks. The Eastern Pacific is owned by a man named Mr. Baldwin. The circle with the white middle shows the engine sheds. The square to the right of it is the trainyard, where all the freight/passenger cars are arranged for trains. There's part of the black lines that show two white lines going parallel to it for a short period of time. That indicates a bridge. The black circle without the white center shows Impala Station, where passenger trains of the Eastern Pacific, and the Eastwood & Mossberg Railway stop to pick up, or let off passengers. The black hexagon indicates the end of the line in Hunterdon. Freight is exchanged with another railway where the hexagon is marked. The black line going off the island shows the bridge, that goes into Santa Cruz, near Monterey California. Only passenger trains go over, to take people on, or off the island. Part of the boardwalk in Santa Cruz was extended, giving enough space to have the trains get on, let off passengers, having the engines get to the other side of their trains, and take their trains off the island with more people wishing to visit the island.

The red lines indicate the tracks of the Mossberg Narrow Gauge Railway, owned by Mr. Swanson. The entire line is two tracks wide, and just like the Eastern Pacific, some trains go off the island, and into Santa Cruz. The red square indicates the engine sheds, and the small circle indicates the yards. The bigger red circle shows Mossberg Harbor. Three railways have trains going into the harbor. They are the Eastern Pacific, the Mossberg Narrow Gauge Railway, and the Northern Errol Line.

The brown line shows the Northern Errol Line. It's a freight railway that has a four track main line going from Zorrin, to the harbor. There are three depots which are indicated by triangles, three engine sheds which are shown as circles, and three train yards indicated as squares. Then, you will see two parts of the line that has two smaller lines in the same color going parallel on each side. That represents bridges. The owner of this railway is not a nice man. His name is Mr. Bruce.

The pink lines show the tracks of the Eastwood & Mossberg Railroad. The controller is a lady named Miss. Scarlett. Every engine on this railway is a steam locomotive, and it's the only railway to run in Eastwood. Just like the Northern Errol Line, the entire mainline is four tracks wide (except for the tracks heading to Ballantine station which is a two track mainline.)The circles show the engine sheds, and the squares indicate trainyards. There are four engine sheds in Eastwood, and six in Hunterdon. There are also four train yards in Eastwood, as well as six train yards in Hunterdon. The only trains on the railway are passenger trains, and no diesels are allowed on this line. The line has six stations. From left to right, they are Eastwood, Hunterdon, Mossberg, Angler, Porsche, and Ballantine. Impala station is owned by the Eastern Pacific.

The blue lines show the tracks of the Hunterdon Central Railway. This is the railway that exchanges frieght with the Eastern Pacific. The Hunterdon Central has trackage rights on Eastern Pacific territory from Hunterdon, passing one of the Eastern Pacific's stations in Mossberg. This railway is owned by Mr. Wright, but it's not completed. The Eastern Pacific gives freight cars loaded with supplies, needed for building their line. Nine lines can be seen heading out of the black hexagon, and there are nine engines on the railway. One engine is assigned to one part of the railroad. The blue hexagon shows the end of the line, and where they exchange freight cars with the Northern Errol Line. The cars that the Hunterdon Central Railway give to the N.E.L are empty, and taken to Mossberg Harbor where they get loaded up with more supplies which are given to the Eastern Pacific. The Eastern Pacific then takes these cars back to the Hunterdon Central Railway, so that they may be used to build more parts of their track.

On the map you will see yellow lines. These show mountains on the island. The Hunterdon Central Railway, is the only railway that does not have any tracks going through, or over a mountain. By one of these yellow lines, you can see part of the Eastern Pacific Railroad that has a single black line going through the line on opposite ends of the mountain. That shows a tunnel.

As you read earlier in this article, the triangles represent stations/depots. For the Eastern Pacific, their stations also serve as depots, where loads from their freight trains get dropped off for customers. For the Mossberg Narrow Gauge Railway, the two triangles with the white center are depots, while the one red triangle represents a station.

These are the station names of the Eastern Pacific. The two stations north of the Northern Errol Line are called Middlesex, and Tracy. The one below it is called Belette. The other five from left to right are called Nova, Delta, Mirage, Cadillac, and Weever.

As you may have noticed, some parts of the lines on the Eastern Pacific are thicker than other parts. That's because the thicker a line is, the more tracks it represents. Most of the line is two tracks wide, but most of the tracks between Delta, and Cadillac station are three tracks wide. The tracks going from Mossberg Harbor to Impala station are one track wide. All of the lines on the Hunterdon Central Railroad, are one track wide.

Now, you'll probably notice, that there are no roadways marked on this map. That is because I didn't want to mark any of them on the map, but don't worry, the Island Of Errol still has roadways, where cars, trucks, and other road vehicles get around the Island.

Now that the island is set up for this series, it needs characters. I am still in the process of creating some, but don't worry, I will start this series soon hopefully. What is the name of this series you ask? Trainz.

Stop the song.

Episode 30: The Sky Is The Limit

Narrator: Today, a friend of mine invited me to ride hang gliders with him. Before I left, I was visiting the engines at the Eastern Pacific in their sheds.

Only three engines are in the sheds. Bri, Mike, and Edward.

Episode 27: Yardwork

Narrator: The Northern Errol Line is run by a very bad man. It makes me, as well as many others wonder how that railroad is still around.
Audience: *Laughing*
Narrator: Mr. Bruce, as well as many of the engines on the N.E.L seriously dislike anyone that works on the Eastern Pacific, along with other people on the island, but sometimes,...
