Railways are a dangerous and deadly workplace of steel on steel. The machines used on them are unforgiving and demand respect if injury is to be prevented. Often times it is the ones who treat their engines as living things that make it through their career without incident. But when the owners of a railway loose that respect, it can rub off on the employees, and that can easily lead to tragedy. Because of this, a number of stallions created a group that would eventually spread around Equestrian, known as The Guild of Equestrian Railwaymen. Their main goal was to make keep that respect railways deserve alive.
This is a story of when that respect is still ungiven, and an owner doesn't learn from their mistakes.
