Muir

Muir is an old 2-6-0 or an American Mogul type steam locomotive in the 2014 Disneytoon Studios animated feature film, Planes: Fire & Rescue who works at the Piston Peak National Park.
==Background==
Not much of Muir's personality or background is known other than his duty of pulling a passenger train. It is known that he feels sensitive whenever a wildfire occurs, especially when burning trees fall and block his path. Fortunately, thanks to Dusty, he manages to break through the trees blocking his path.
==Appearances==
===Planes: Fire & Rescue===
In Planes: Fire & Rescue, Muir is seen puffing along a train track as Dusty Crophopper flies past him. He later stops at the Grand Fusel Lodge area, delivering passengers for them to enter, alongside the Secretary of the Interior. Later as the fire emerges at Piston Peak, André tells the evacuating guests that Muir's coaches are full, telling the remaining guests to follow a staff member who would lead them to safety. As Muir continues leading the lodge guests to safety, he notices a flaming tree blocking his path during a massive wildfire. Later, during a plan to extinguish the fire, Dusty extinguishes the flaming tree going past him while the Smokejumpers work together as Muir clears the extinguished debris blocking his path as the train continues moving safely across it. The wildfire, however, stops.
==Trivia==
*Unlike the steam locomotive seen in Planes, Muir's mouth is on the front of his smokebox door instead of his cowcatcher.
*These types of engines were used most common on American railroads during the 1800s and 1830s until 1928.
*Muir is likely based on a locomotive that worked on the Virginia & Truckee Railroad which was the Virginia and Truckee No. 13 Empire.
*There are a few shots in the movie where the animation on Muir's running gear is messed up, and his rods move incorrectly. Also, in one of these shots, his front set of drive wheels isn't turning while the other two are.
*His tender is lettered "Piston Peak Railway".
*Muir is based off John Muir, father of national parks.
