My Little Union Pacific: Big Boys are Magic

Celestia's sun was just starting to rise when Twilight finally summoned the courage to inspect the locomotives, everypony else decided to inspect the two machines as well, dropping down on the platform, Twilight noticed that Rainbow Dash was right, it did have two sets of driving wheels! Rainbow Dash flew in to inspect the headlight, she looked at the shield which read UNION PACIFIC 4023, "ever heard of this "Union Pacific"?" asked Rainbow,

"no," replied Twilight, the machine was incredible, Rainbow Dash and Twilight used their wings to get a better view, they gasped at the length the train covered, "whoa, I did not know trains could get this long," Twilight said, Rainbow nodded in agreement, "go grab Fluttershy, we might need her," said Twilight, Rainbow Dash flew away to fetch Fluttershy, Twilight noticed a strange plate on the lead machine, she got closer to inspect, the plate read

AMERICAN

LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY

72780

SCHENECTADY WORKS

                                                                      NOVEMBER            1944

"American Locomotive Company?" Twilight said, she was puzzled, she knew many things, but this stooped her to no end.

Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie was standing in between the rails looking up at the 4023, "whoa," she said in awe, "it's taller than Princess Celestia,"

Twilight decided to tell the Princess, "Spike, we need to inform Princess Celestia!"

CANTERLOT

Princess Celestia had just woken up and was enjoying breakfast with her sister Luna when the tip of her glowed and a scroll popped out, it read

Dear Princess Celestia

Two strange machines have appeared in Ponyville, There big, black and silver, have the words "Union Pacific" on their sides and they have numbers that say 4023 and 4006, and the 4023 has a plaque that reads "American Locomotive Company."

your faithful student and fellow Princess

Twilight Sparkle,

"what is it Tia?" Luna asked,

"We apparently have two machines that showed up in Ponyville, we have to check it out," Celestia said.

PONYVILLE

Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and a couple of guards arrived later that morning, Celestia, Luna, and their guards looked wide eyed at the machines, Fluttershy had just arrived after being informed by Rainbow Dash, "oh my," said meekly eying the Big Boys.

"Well I never," Celestia said, they inspected the locomotives closely, the behemoths let a gentile breath of steam, "their locomotives alright," Celestia said.

Meanwhile in the cab the crews could not figure out what to do, "all of them are staring at us," said Bill,

"That's not even the weird part, their multicolored horses," added Emily,

"good point," added Bill,

"Shut up you two," Jack hissed, "Emily, you come with me, Bill, Maria you stay here and take care of the train," Emily stood up nervously and climbed down her side of the Big Boy and walked over to Jack, together they walked around and faced the ponies.

Everypony looked at the two strange figures that must have dismounted the train, they were bipedal and were wearing strange looking overalls that were striped, "interesting choice of clothes," Rarity whispered to Twilight,

"they probably wear them to protect their real clothes from dirt," Twilight whispered back, Rarity nodded in agreement. Princess Celestia approached the two strange figures,

"I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria," she said in soft but firm voice,

the two humans twitched uncomfortably, "I never heard of "Equestria"," said Jack uneasily,

"you have never heard of Equestria," Everypony said in unison,

Jack sighed and said "this is going to be a paperwork nightmare."
