M3gan thinks she's winning against FNAF characters. She ain't.

Who's winning between her and Espee?

M3gan is a robot who's about the build of a little girl but who's extremely strong (10x stronger than a human apparently) and she ig knows how to fight to the point she's a horror villain.

Espee is a 21 year old Germanic Blue Raccoon who's about 8'3 and is also extremely strong (15x that of a human), and he's a WW2 veteran. He is skilled with most firearms and was notorious enough to where he got a nickname.

Espee was extremely skilled in operating a Texas type locomotive.

Because the Pennsylvania Railroad had J1 2-10-4s on the operated on a lot, he learned the locomotives in and out. But not just the J1s, but also the Chesapeake and Ohio T1s and ATSF 5011 class, which were also 2-10-4 types. Early in Espees career at the PRR, he was given the position of Engineer after just two months of being a fireman. He was most often times put on long heavy freight trains, which meant often times he was driving the T1. Most of these trains weighed anywhere from 3000-12000 tons and were sometimes over a mile and a half long. The heavier ones were often times Coal Drags from Sandusky or Appalachia.

While he did also operate other locomotives a lot, like the I1, the M1, K classes and even Duplexes, he loved the T1. It was a nice, powerful, and elegant design. By the late 40s he could operate the Texans on the Pennsy with such precision and smoothness, it could be compared to how a 20 year old Japanese racer could guide a 2000s Supra around the hills of San Francisco at high speed. Espee learned all the right positions to put every little control to make a J1 run flawlessly pull an 8000 coal train up a grade. He even oddly told the amount of coal a fireman would need to put in the firebox.

The PRR operated over a lot of C&O trackage and sometimes Espee would have to drive the T1. Once he drove a T1 in front of a J1, double heading on a long unit coal train. Later towards the end of steam on the PRR, Espee also drove ATSF 5011 class locomotives. The Pennsylvania Railroad had leased some Texas types from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and had them sent to Ohio to assist the power on the line from Columbus to Sandusky. Espee loved all the Texas types he drove over the years, and decided to preserve a C&O T1 and a PRR J1.

Espee managed to push a J1 once over its top speed. It was only intended to go 50 Miles Per Hour, but Espee pushed PRR # 6410 to 60 miles per hour with a mile long manifest freight. He knew he was going faster than usual but not that fast. He estimated 55 MPH by counting the seconds between mileposts, but he broke the record for a Pennsy 2-10-4. Later in the 80s he got out his own J1 that he had preserved and managed to push it to 61 mph running with a single RPO and boxcar. He also got the C&O T1 up to 55 mph running light, when their estimated top speed was 50 MPH.

He got permission from Conrail to run his J1 on the mainline for a single run with a coal drag from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh. It went off without a hitch and pulled 10000 tons at 51 mph through Eastern Indiana and Ohio, unassisted by any other steam or diesel locomotives (Literally getting to live out the dream of "Restore it and run it on the mainline").

Later he would sell his C&O T1 to the B&O railroad museum for around $100,000 to give 3/4ths of the money to veterans organizations. His collection as of 2025 is Southern Pacific 4274 a Cab Forward, ATSF 2912, a 4-8-4 2900 class 4-8-4, B&O 709, a T class 4-8-2 and PRR J1 6444. 6444 is the only one that operates, but the other three are in good condition and sit at Espees small museum in London Ohio.

More recently he's gotten to install Positive Train Control on 6444 as well as more modern safety equipment, which allowed him to operate two separate excursions to Altoona PA, as well as let it go to Strasburg PA for a bit. On its way back from Strasburg, it got to pull a long manifest freight unassisted. It went from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Cincinnati Ohio on Norfolk Southern trackage.

NS would allow Espee to drive it to certain locations like historical societies, museums, excursion lines and once in 2015 even asked for it to help a unit grain train on a grade out of Cincinnati when 6444 was in the area pulling a small excursion for the Cincinnati Dinner train. The locomotive performed flawlessly and helped the grain train out of Cincy.

Today, Espee is taking a break from operating 6444 to focus on his other steam locomotives. He has it on display at his museum in London Ohio, while he works on fully restoring and servicing his other steamers.
