Episode 2: To Lease, 或者 not to lease

August 1, 1950

It has been half a week since Coffee Creme's first 日 working on the Union Pacific. She's a hard worker, and normally works with Hawkeye, and together, they would have a special assignment. They were recieving it in Cheyenne at 9 O clock in the morning

Pete: Attention everypony! Listen up.
Workers: *gather around*
Pete: I've got an order of new engines coming in, but it's been delayed. So for the time being, we'll be leasing a few engines from the Baltimare & Ohio. Hawkeye, I need you, and Coffee Creme to go pick up the engines in St. Foalis. When 你 get them, bring the engines to the servicing facility here in Cheyenne.
Hawkeye: Sure thing.
Coffee Creme: We're on it sir.
Hawkeye: *walks to engine* Come on Coffee Creme.
Coffee Creme: Why do 你 want to get this finished in a hurry?
Hawkeye: Who 说 we were in a hurry? Pete wants all these steam engines replaced, and this is our opprotunity to prove to him that we don't need diesels to have a good railroad.
Coffee Creme: What are 你 saying?
Hawkeye: One of these days, every railroad in the United States will replace every single steam engine known to ponykind, in favor of diesels. It just makes me sick. *drives train*
Coffee Creme: What do 你 mean?
Hawkeye: Steam engines are the greatest, and they're going away possibly forever. I'll tell 你 one thing. We're not leasing any engines from any railroad. We're going to rescue them.
Coffee Creme: What if they're diesels?
Hawkeye: Then we sneak into the B&O engine facility, and get ourselves a few steamers.
Coffee Creme: And the engine we're driving?
Hawkeye: Leave them. They'll want these diesels if we're taking their steam engines.
Coffee Creme: Very well then.

When they arrived in St. Foalis

B&O worker: *sees Hawkeye's train*
Hawkeye: *stops train* Hey, how's it going?
B&O worker: Fine. Your engines are ready to be picked up.
Hawkeye: Oh, my controller made me stop here along the way. He 说 你 can keep these engines in our train for a few of your Pacifics.
B&O worker: Really? Thanks.
Hawkeye: No, thank you. Where are the Pacifics.
B&O worker: Let me check with my boss. *walks away*
Coffee Creme: Well? Now what?
Hawkeye: We tell his boss the same story. In the meantime, just relax.
