Why Heloooo there! 

This is NPCRR no 21. AKA Thomas Steston AKA The Freak, It was originally a normal locomotive until it was damaged in an accident, after which it was dismantled and rebuilt as an oil burning Cab- Forward locomotive Due to its unusual apperance It was nicknamed "the freak" by the railroad workmen, The experimental design was not well recived for many reasons, including the engineers feeling less safe due to there being less crumple zone in the event of a front end collision, The locomotive was scrapped due to poor performance. And it appeared as the basis of a character in a special of a certain children's program about trains.

@YNM

Very "Logan's Run"

If you look closely, the "driver" is a mannequin in a weird "Im dead" pose. In fact, there is something odd about this whole thing...the scale seems odd..
