==Personality==
Linus is shown to be a cheerful train engine, enjoying spending time with his best friend and engineer Henry McCloud and being cautious not running over a tortoise. When Samson the Superlocomotive takes his place in transporting people as to modernize the train traffic by the Baron Von Kapital, Linus falls into depression, reluctantly working as a lumberyard train, forced to work by a abusive driver. 
When he sees Samson, his engineer and the others in danger, he decides to do the right thing by breaking free from his abusive driver by sawing the chains and at full speed driving toward the broken bridge in spite of a hole in his boiler by the guard shooting him. After moving Samson's five coaches and tender away, he sacrifices himself by letting Henry and the Baron's daughter fill him maximum with coal until he explodes by overheating and dragging the bigger Samson.
When he disappears up into Heaven, he is soon rebuilt and restored to his original form, and now works on his tourist branch line.
==Abilites==
Being a train, he can travel at great speed depending how much coal he is loaded with. He also requires no driver to operate him at times.
