The stallion near the is my Personal Avatar named Rail Rider or actually myself.

Rail Rider's bio: Grew up on a farm in Eques with his mother and father and older brother Rail Rider dreamed of becoming an Railroad Engineer as he had a love of trains. When humans discover an ancient and mystical magic railroad that connected our world to Eques Princess Twilight Sparkle and Eques' allies signed the first interdimensional treaty between two different dimensions with the United Nations. Thanks to this the treaty allowed Eques and its allies' economies to explode to heights not seen in the US since the end of World War 2 as the United States of America were allowed to allow the country's Class 1 Railroads to operate in Eques, the Griffon Empire, the Crystal Empire, the Changeling Hive, and others to advance to 21st Century level of technology. Thanks to the sudden increase of both freight and passengers between these new interdimensional allies the US government decided to allow CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe, Kansas City Southern, the Florida East Coast railroad that was upgraded back to a Class 1 railroad, Canadian Pacific, Canadian National, the Delaware & Hudson Railroad which regained its original image, but remains a subsidiary of the CP, the newly reborn Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific Railroad after being a Class 3 short jumped back into Class 1 status with trackage rights agreement with UP to run the Rock's old trackage that remains in operation with newly reborn lines that were torn up long ago when the Rock Island went bankrupt, and 3 newly reborn New England railroads in the form of the Boston & Maine, Maine Central, and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad under the control of both CSX and NS, but were subsidiaries of the two bigger roads as they worked together/competed against them and with the D&H, CP, and CN for freight and passengers in the New England States. Old right of ways of fallen flags were reopened and upgrade for Class 1 railroad traffic thanks to the increase. Later on the railroads were pushed to their breaking point as their present locomotive fleets were short of motive power. That's when CSX's new CEO Justin W. Kiefer great great grandson of Paul W. Kiefer the man who was once Chief Engineer and Locomotive Designer of the New York Central's Motive Power and father of the Central's legendary 4-8-2 L Class Mohawks, the 4-8-4 S Class Niagaras, the 4-6-2 K Class Pacifics, and Pual's greatest locomotive creation the 4-6-4 J Class Hudsons decided that they needed more motive power, but GE, EMD, and Simans were also being pushed to the limit as well and couldn't send more new diesels to aid in the growing amount of traffic however, there was only one kind of motive power that hadn't been used on railroads in regular use since the 1960s and that steam power. So Justin decided for CSX to leap backwards in motive power to answer the locomotive shortage. Luckily a new reorganized American Locomotive Company better known as ALCO were busy restoring and rehabilitating the company's old Schenectady, New York shops that were left standing where many locomotives from the Hudsons to massive Big Boys locomotives along with the ALCO PAs and FAs were built when they got a call from Mr. Kifer by placing ALCO's first new order of locomotives and it was steam power and just any steam power, but J class 4-6-4 Hudsons with upgraded and modernized 205 J-1 Class Hudsons and 90 new J-3a Hudsons while the reborn Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio took CSX's order for 40 J-2 Class Hudsons. The two newly reborn steam locomotive builders quickly went to work using new state of the art technology like Computer Aided Drafting program combined with revived locomotive building methods using the original blueprints for all 3 classes of Hudsons. Around this time Rail Rider was finished High School and now an Locomotive Engineer for CSX got a class from Mr. Kiefer wanted him to come to Schenectady for CSX's special reveal event of a locomotive that hadn't been seen running in decades. Rail agreed and went to Schenectady and a few days later at the newly reopened ALCO's Schenectady Plant Kiefer gave a speech with many important attendees including Princess Twilight, Prince Shining Armor, Princess Flurry Heart, and Twilight's son Prince Quazelight Sparkle about the impact that steam locomotives had on many people around the world and the influence they had everyday people even talked about his Great great grandfather and the role that Paul Kiefer had in making the NYC a legendary railroad carrying freight and passengers to their destinations on time. He finish the speech by saying, "Today… we of CSX have rewritten a wrong that lead the loss of one of the most iconic steam locomotives that our country cherished and now it rolls again as one of our major passenger locomotives! Ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls, changelings, griffons, dragons, alicorns, unicorns, pegasi, foals, ponies, colts, and many others we welcome back… THE NEW YORK CENTRAL'S MIGHTY 4-6-4 HUDSON!"

Soon one of the doors to the Schenectady shops opened by ALCO employees and puffing out of the shop triumphant and reborn with white smoke bellowing from its smokestack and steam blowing out of its cylinders was New York Central J1e 4-6-4 No: 5344 the last J1 class Hudson ever made with Rail in the cab of 5344. Everyone gave a loud applause to the accomplishment as Mr. Kiefer looked back at Rail and nodded as the blue stallion then gave a long blast of the 5344's newly made Nathan 6 Chime Step-Top Steam Whistle as the whole Schenectady heard the whistle of a steam locomotive for the first time in decades. The mighty Hudson had been reborn and wouldn't be long until the engines will be on the head of many revived passenger trains from CSX's proud heritage like the Capital Limited, the Empire State Express, the Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Detroit Mercuries, the Intercity Express, the Ambassador, the Pacemaker, the Southwest Limited, the New England States, the Ohio State Limited, and others including the New York Central's crown jewel cracked passenger train the 20th Century Limited.
