Ferromex diesels were entering Florida. They were heading for a part of the Florida East Coast line in Jacksonville.

The song fades away as they spot several Florida East Coast diesels.

Ferromex Diesel 717: Well, looky here amigos.
FEC Diesel 18: What are wewe guys doing here?
Ferromex Diesel 717: Hehehe, we're taking back a part of Mexico. The state of Florida was once a part of our country.
Ferromex Diesel 812: And we want it back.

The five Ferromex diesels deployed AK47's, and killed the diesels from the Florida East Coast.

In Ciudad Victoria, Mexico

Adrian: *Stops behind a Dash-7* Sir, everything is going according to plan.
Ricky: Good. kwa the end of August, Florida East Coast will be in our control, and we will soon take back the land of Mexico from America. First with Florida, then Texas, and finally, New Mexico. If the Americans try to stop us, we will push them back, and take zaidi of their land.

Joe was walking downstairs from one of the rooms inside a hotel. He was heading towards Victor, who was eating at a breakfast buffet.

Victor: *Eating french bread* Thank wewe very much for the bacon.
Waitress: You're welcome sir.
Victor: *Sees Joe walking towards him* Hello.
Joe: Good morning. Elias sent me the message. We should go now.
Victor: *Sighs* I didn't get a chance to finish my breakfast.
Joe: I'll take wewe to I-Hop once the job is done. Let's go.

Song: link

Joe lead Victor to a brand new Ford mustang in dark grey.

Joe: Say goodbye to her Victor. We gotta return it to the rental company after we help Elias.
Victor: Mine may not be brand new, but at least I own a Mustang.
Joe: *Starts the car, and drives down the road*

Williamson, West Virginia

Victor: *Grabs a Sig Sauer P320*
Joe: Can wewe grab my gun from the glove, glovu compartment?
Victor: *Opens the glove, glovu compartment, and gives Joe a Walther PPK*
Joe: Thanks.

The hotel was near a Norfolk Southern yard. They stopped at a parking lot, and saw three men on guard.

Victor: *Sticks his gun out the window, and shoots all three men*
Joe: *Parks the car, and turns the engine off* Let's get closer to Tug Fork. Elias is coming in from Kentucky.

Tug Fork was a river. Without getting spotted kwa anyone else, Joe, and Victor got towards a bridge. Three men were facing the bridge with a Dash-9. The men had Mossberg 930's, and the Dash-9 had an MP5.

Joe: That's the only way for Elias to get across.
Victor: We gotta shoot 'em. *Shoots two men*
Joe: *Shoots the 3rd men, and the Dash-9*
NS 9899: *Falls down*
Joe: We did it.
Elias: *Arrives*
Victor: Not a dakika too soon.

Stop the song.

Elias: Thanks boys.
Victor: What's the emergency?
Elias: You're being reassigned. I got another mission for wewe down in Florida. Return your rental car at the airport, and meet me in Jacksonville.
Joe: As wewe wish.

Song: link

Victor, and Joe arrived in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a beautiful day, without a single wingu in the sky.

Victor: I'll take this over a gray sky in West Virginia any day.
Joe: wewe alisema it.

The song fades away when they meet Elias in the Florida East Coast yard.

Elias: This is where eight of their engines were scrapped kwa Ferromex.
Kerry: We're a harmless railway, but we need your help.
Frank: There's a lot of them. wewe have enough engines to help us?
Elias: I think so. Victor, Joe, can wewe find them?
Joe: Where do we go first?
Elias: As soon as they were born, the other twenty heritage units defected Norfolk Southern. Once they left, they received their liveries. When we're not doing missions, they spread out so it'll be difficult for Norfolk Southern to find them. The first engine for wewe to find is Joel. He's the Jersey Central heritage unit.
Victor: That's great, but where is he?
Elias: I was just about to tell you. Columbus Ohio.
Victor: It would be great if the engines on Florida East Coast learned how to defend themselves. That way we wouldn't have to travel around the continent finding twenty engines that keep moving around.
Elias: It will be easy once wewe find Joel. Good luck wewe two.
Victor: *Leaves with Joe* I still say this is a waste of our time.
Joe: Relax. We're probably better off finding these heritage units anyway. They have zaidi experience fighting bad guys.

At Columbus, there was an intermodal yard. Joe, and Victor found Joel.

Victor: Well, I think we already know what he's going to do.
Joel: *Shooting five NS High kofia Geeps with a Mac-10*
Joe: Was there any doubt?
Joel: *Backing up to Victor, and Joe* Hey. Elias alisema wewe two would be coming.
Victor: Been a while, but it's nice to see wewe again.
Joe: wewe worked together?
Victor: It was three years ago. He was trying to contact the rest of the heritage units when several Norfolk Southern engines were closing in on him. I helped him escape.
Joel: It was back in New Jersey. What brings wewe here?
Victor: There's a problem in Florida, and Elias needs all of the heritage units to come together, and help fight Ferromex.
Joel: Alright then, let's go. Evan, and Hermy aren't too far away.
Joe: *Climbs onto Joel's walkway with Victor* Who are they?
Joel: Evan is the Lehigh Valley heritage unit, and Hermy is Pennsy.
Victor: Alright, let's go find them.
Joel: *Leaving the intermodal yard*

They followed the tracks north to a small town called Dipple. They found a place called the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company.

Evan: Lotta freight cars here.
Hermy: At least we took care of some of those NS switchers. *Sees Joel* hujambo Joel. I see wewe made it back from that Intermodal Yard.
Joel: And I found some friends.
Victor: wewe two remember me. This is my pal, Joe.
Joe: Hi there.
Evan: Hi Joe.
Hermy: We better get going. You'll find out why very soon.

The three engines left the area, and when they did, the building exploded. Many of the freight cars were also destroyed, along with some track.

Victor: Who do we find next?
Joel: You'll find out in Chicago.
Evan: What are wewe two talking about?
Joel: Elias has another mission for us. All twenty of us.

Five zaidi heritage units were in Chicago. They were with some Rock Island diesels in Blue Island Yard. Nearby was a man with a cat.

Rock Island F40PH: Someone get those freight cars out of here!
Joel: *Watching the action nearby*
Evan: Oh no, not these guys.
Hermy: I hate Rock Island engines.
Joe: What for?
Joel: They act like they own the rails.
Rock Island F40PH: *Looking at the heritage units* One of wewe do it.
Alex: We're not a part of your railroad.
Mike: wewe can't just boss us around.
Rock Island F40PH: *Looks at Jeremy* Norfolk & Western, huh? Why don't wewe help me?
Jeremy: *Passing the F40PH as he heads towards the freight cars*
George: What is he doing?
Leander: You'll see.
Jeremy: *Spits on the ground near the freight cars, and backs up to the other heritage units*
Rock Island F40PH: That's it? What was that? *Gets closer to Jeremy* Say you're sorry... I alisema say you're sorry!
Jeremy: For what?
Rock Island F40PH: For what? wewe spat on the ground, inaonyesha some disrespect. wewe owe me an apology. I told wewe to apologize! If wewe don't, I'll make you! *Deploys a Glock*

Song (Start at 0:31): link

Jeremy: *Deploys a revolver, and shoots the F40PH*
Rock Island F40PH: *Putting away his glock as he falls on the ground to his right*
Arthur: *Looking at the heritage units, then at the F40PH*

Stop the song

Joel: *Coming towards Jeremy, as Evan, and Hermy follow him* Good to see wewe five can still defend yourselves.
Mike: Don't give us all the credit.
Leander: Jeremy is the one who shot him.
George: What brings wewe three into the windy city?
Joel: Elias.
Evan: He has an assignment for us.
Hermy: He needs help from all of us Heritage Units.
Arthur: *Clearing his throat*

Everyone stared at Arthur as he started to pet his cat.

Arthur: I've been admiring wewe guys ever since wewe first came to life in 2012. It's great how wewe left Norfolk Southern, then got your heritage liveries.
Alex: What's your point?
Arthur: I was hoping I could jiunge you.
Leander: Can wewe moto a gun?
Arthur: Not yet.
Jeremy: Have wewe killed anyone before?
Arthur: Once. For stealing my cat here.
Joel: I understand that life on the streets can be tough, but we don't need your help.
Arthur: Who alisema I was living on the streets?
Evan: wewe just did.
Joel: We need to go to St. Louis. Let's go boys.

There were eight heritage units now. Victor, and Joe had to find twelve more.

St. Louis, Joel and the others met three zaidi heritage units.

Joel: *Stops in front of Robert* Robert, I'm surprised you're still here.
Robert: Eric, and Nick are also here.
Joel: I thought after we helped Lee Brent, we'd spread out, and go into different cities far from here. There's still plenty of Norfolk Southern diesels looking for us.
Eric: *Arrives with Nick* We needed zaidi supplies.
Nick: *Looking at the other heritage units* Leander, George, what are the eight of wewe doing?
Evan: A mission for Elias.
Mike: All twenty heritage units have been requested.
Jeremy: So far, there's eleven of us.

Song: link

Robert: The Magnificent Eleven.
Eric: I thought it was the Magnificent Seven.
Joel: That's a different story.
Victor: If wewe count me and Joe, then there's 13 in our group.
Robert: I know where we can find Ernest. Let's go make it 14.

They left St. Louis, and went into Kentucky. Their inayofuata destination was Louisville.

The song fades away as the group stops near a shed in an oil refinery.

Robert: We just wait a few seconds.
Jeremy: I think I know why.
Alex: Three, two, one.

Two steam engines popped out of the sheds, then slowly passed the eleven diesels, smiling at them as they blushed.

Alex: I knew that Southern 722 came to this area often, but I wasn't expecting Savannah & Atlanta 750.
Ernest: *Yawning, and he comes out of the shed* hujambo boys. Good timing.
Robert: Elias has a mission for all twenty of us.
Ernest: What's the job?
Evan: We're fighting Ferromex. They attacked Florida East Coast, and we got to protect them.
Ernest: I'll contact the others. I got a laptop.
Victor: Finally, someone with technology. This'll make the rest of our task very simple.
Ernest: *Deploys his laptop, and sends a message* I contacted the rest of the Heritage Units. They'll meet us in Jacksonville.
Joel: Then let's go back, and tell Elias.

But when they began to leave, a human was nearby, following them.

Joel and the rest of his team arrived in Jacksonville. The other eight heritage units were just arriving.

Elias: I see wewe got everyone else here.
Ernest: It's amazing what technology can do.
Victor: Joe, let me introduce wewe to the others. This here is Guy. The Penn Central unit is Anthony. Tim is Conrail, and Kelli is DL&W. Eddie is Monongahela, Ivan, Southern, Nathan, Virginian, and Chett is Illinois Terminal.
Joe: I didn't know Illinois Terminal was part of Norfolk Southern's heritage.
Chett: Before merging with Southern, Norfolk & Western purchased the Illinois Terminal in 1982.
Elias: Let's get down to business gentlemen. I assume Joel has briefed wewe all about our upcoming assignment.
Evan: Uh, most of us.
Ernest: I did the briefing for the other eight engines that I contacted via e-mail.
Elias: That makes sense. Now check your equipment. We don't know when Ferromex will make a comeback, but we must protect the Florida East Coast from their attacks.
Nathan: *Burps*
Ivan: I tried to stop him from drinking alcohol, but I didn't get to him in time.
Ernest: No matter, sometimes he does a better job fighting when intoxicated.
Kerry: *Arrives with Frank* We are very grateful for your help Heritage Units.
Elias: Anytime, if we're in the area of course.
Mike: *Chuckles*
Andrea: *Stops inayofuata to Kerry, and Frank* I will kiss wewe all if wewe stay alive.
Ernest: This is getting zaidi interesting.
Guy: I'm not surprised wewe would say something like that.
Ernest: wewe mind if I have some fun with wewe now?
Andrea: That's why I'm here. Follow me.
Ernest: *Following Andrea*

As the other heritage units watched Ernest leave with Andrea, Arthur walked towards them.

Arthur: wewe guys remember me?
Anthony: Nope.
Leander: Should we?
Arthur: I was in Chicago with you, when wewe refused to let me jiunge you.
Joel: Wait a second, what are wewe doing here?
Arthur: Proving to wewe that I'm a good asset to your team.
Elias: It's up to me to decide who joins, au not.
Arthur: Well, let me onyesha wewe what I got. *Pulls out a Desert Eagle*
Evan: Whoa!
Kelli & Alex: *Deploying their M60's, and pointing them at Arthur*
Elias: At ease boys. I don't think he means any harm.
Arthur: wewe let me join, au else.
Jeremy: wewe sure about that Elias?
Robert: He's brave, I'll give him that.
Arthur: *Shoots two bullets on the ground near Elias. He then shoots the rail near Ivan's wheels, then shoots a bird above Eric. He fires his last three bullets at a tree, making a branch fall down*
George: What did that bird do to you?
Arthur: Shut up. What do wewe say? Am I in?
Elias: wewe can stay with us, but I do not consider wewe as a member just yet. wewe be patient, and I may change my mind.
Arthur: Fine. I'm gonna go buy some zaidi ammo.

Three SD70M-2's joined eight ET44AC's. They were focusing on the 21 heritage units.

NS 2759: They are all here. Let's get them scrapped once, and for all.
NS 3646: I only see twenty of them.
NS 3644: The Wabash heritage unit's not there.
Ernest: *Returning to the others with Andrea*
NS 2759: He's there now. songesha in.
Victor: *Turns around* Norfolk Southern!

Song: link

Elias: *Turns around, and shoots two of the ET44AC's* Thanks for the head's up Victor.
NS Engines: *Deploying AK47's*
NS 2716: They all have M60's. How can we stop them?
NS 2759: Keep using cover, and songesha up.

Several bullets went through the boxcars, and took out the other SD70M-2's, and another ET44AC*

NS 3634: Any other ideas?
Guy & Tim: *Shooting through the other boxcars*
Nathan: hujambo Kerry, songesha them boxcars outta the way, would ya?
Kerry: Uh, sure. *Couples up to the boxcars, and moves them backwards*
NS 3665: We're losing our cover!
NS 2759: Fall back! They win this round, but we'll scrap all 21 of them inayofuata time!
Mike & Hermy: *Shooting the rest of them*
Robert: Not if you're dead.
Kerry: That was wonderful!
Frank: wewe saved us!
Andrea: I wish wewe could stay forever.
Ernest: I do too.

Ferromex diesels were planning their inayofuata attack on the Florida East Coast.

Adrian: Texas, and New Mexico will take longer to capture. Our main strike forces were pushed out kwa Union Pacific, and BNSF in both states.
Ricky: Let's try to capture Florida first. We'll sneak into Louisiana, and destroy Florida East Coast in Jacksonville. We started our war with them there, and we will end it there too.
Adrian: I will contact Tino. We will need him if we're to win.
Ricky: Si. I'll gather the rest of our units.

Song: link

Ricky led Adrian, Tino, and seventeen other Ferromex diesels into Louisiana kwa boat. Once they got on dry land, they went to Jacksonville.

Tino: It seems quiet.
Ricky: They're not expecting us.
Joe: No, but we are.

Stop the song.

The Ferromex diesels stopped in front of Joe.

Ricky: What are wewe doing here señor?
Joe: I'm here to give wewe a warning. There are two zaidi humans, and twenty one diesels who will fight wewe guys, and stop wewe from attacking Florida East Coast.
Ricky: *Laughing* Listen to this human gentlemen. *Laughing* We're being warned. Florida East Coast doesn't have any engines to fight us. We would know if they did. When god shits on us, god shits on us.
Joe: Last warning. Leave, au be scrapped.
Adrian: He's being serious.
Tino: I know. What do we do?
Ricky: Shoot him, and if any engines do come to fight us, destroy them.
Elias: *Arrives with the heritage units, Victor, and Arthur* Don't try it.
Ricky: *Looking at the heritage units* They have M60's! STOP THEM!!!!

Song: link

Joel & Mike: *Shooting at the Ferromex diesels. Two of them get scrapped*
Ricky: FALL BACK!!!!
George: *Shoots three zaidi Ferromex diesels*

All of the Ferromex diesels deployed AK47's

Tino: Cover him!
Ricky: *Shoots Ivan*
Andrea: *Couples up to Ivan*
Ivan: What are wewe doing?
Andrea: Taking wewe to safety. wewe gotta get your wounds healed.

Victor, Joe, and Arthur were using pistols. Joe used his P99, Victor stuck with his P320, but Arthur was using a Beretta M9.

Victor: Compared to the diesel's weapons, our guns are toys!
Arthur: We can still pull off a few good shots. *Shoots a Ferromex diesel in the eye* Look at that!
Ferromex Diesel 95: AH! *Backing up* AH! *Crashes into a boxcar, and derails*
Elias: Take to the high ground.
George: Follow me. *Goes towards a switch with Nathan, Evan, Alex, and Jeremy*
Guy: *Shooting two Ferromex diesels. His gun gets hit, and he switches to an M16*
Joel: *Loses his M60 too* They have some good aim. *Switches to an M16*
Guy: Let's return the favor.

With their M16's, they shot five Ferromex diesels.

George: *On a higher track, he shoots three zaidi Ferromex diesels*
Tino: *Shoots the support beams*
George: Get off! Get off! *Falls down with Nathan, Evan, Alex, and Jeremy*
Arthur: NO!
Victor: *Shoots Tino, but he gets shot*
Joe: Victor!
Victor: *Drops his gun, and dies*
Joe: Grrr!! *Shoots Tino*
Tino: AH!! *Gets scrapped*
