Episode 2: To Lease, または 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 あなた 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 あなた want to get this finished in a hurry?
Hawkeye: Who 発言しました 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 あなた 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 あなた mean?
Hawkeye: Steam engines are the greatest, and they're going away possibly forever. I'll tell あなた 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 発言しました あなた 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.
