  • Moving freight has always been hard work, especially for the strong mainline engines like Kent, Wes and Ellis. When it seems like they are approaching their limits, the appearance of a mysterious, "bobber," caboose changes the outcome of their jobs. As cabooses themselves are falling from mainstream use, how will the superpowered machines treat their newfound lucky charm?

    Really loved this episode and that bobber caboose in my world a train is not complete without a caboose I love them as much as steam locomotives. Really loved the "Oh Susana" with Wes as he highballs for Trinidad.

    And for those who are commenting on how fast it came out, I'm pretty sure it's because of quarantine. Quite a few of us who are staying home during COVID have been able to get videos done a lot faster, so I'm not as surprised. We gotta find something to do, after all.

Wonderful history for the Surf Line, I want to ride on this route soon.

    What was the reason you chose to use Prowler901's old San Juan West route for the series?
    Aside from the Age of Steam Roundhouse, what was the primary inspiration for the series?
    How did you and Brian end up working together?
    How did the idea of the the SJBL/Marysville RR crossover come about?
    Will in-universe stories about railroads outside of the SJBL ever be explored?
    Will there ever be SJT/SJBL Merch?
