Carina's journey was going well so far. Her train of four boxcars was actually 10 minutes early. However, she still had to stop for Delta who was heading to Thunder Bay with his passenger train.
Carina: *Stops in a siding* Oh, how convenient. A refueling depot. *Gets coal, and water while waiting in the siding*
Delta: *Blows his horn twice as he passes with his train*
Carina: *Watching the shiny blue, and yellow coaches on Delta's train*
Delta: *Looking back at Carina* Where's Rachael? I hope she's okay.
Carina: *Leaves her siding* And now I got a clear track to Maple Hill.
A few hours later, Delta stopped at Thunder Bay. He let his passengers off, and went to the servicing facility to refuel. On his way, he passed the yards, and saw Rachael, and Suzie shunting cars, getting them ready for outbound trains.
Delta: Rachael?
Rachael: *Excited* Delta!!
Delta: Why are you here? I thought I'd see you back at Maple Hill.
Rachael: I'm sorry Delta, but Miss. Teresa reassigned me, and Suzie to work here since she got a stronger steam engine to do both our jobs.
Suzie: We're trying to find a way to get back on the mainline where we belong.
Delta: Can I do anything to help?
Rachael: Well...
Miss. Teresa: Delta!! You need to move your train onto the wye, and get turned around!
Suzie: We'll talk about it tonight in the sheds.
Delta: Fine by me. *Goes back to his train* Coming Miss. Teresa!
Suzie: Are you sure we can trust him?
Rachael: Of course. He has a crush on me.
Suzie: By the look on your face, I'd say you have a crush on him.
Rachael: That's right.
Delta was refueled, and had his train ready for the next run to Maple Hill. Miss. Teresa spoke to him as he boarded his passengers.
Miss. Teresa: I do not want to see you speaking to those rejects ever again!
Delta: Who are you talking about?
Miss. Teresa: *Points her finger at Rachael, and Suzie*
Suzie: *Slips while pushing a centerbeam, and three hoppers*
Rachael: Here, let me help you.
Delta: They're not rejects Miss. Teresa. They maybe weak compared to the rest of us, but they still provide value to our railroad.
Miss. Teresa: Yeah, sure, struggling with one boxcar is definitely great value. I should have just bought Carina in the first place, and everything would be fine.
Delta: They're not that weak Miss. Teresa! You're not being fair. Giving them a short amount of time to adjust to their work, and then threatening to replace them?! What's wrong with you?!
Miss. Teresa: Perhaps I should also reconsider your employment on this railroad. *Walks back to her office*
Delta: Damn!
Conductor: All aboard!!
Delta: *Blows his horn, and leaves Thunder Bay with his passenger train*
