Georgia

Georgia is one of the main locomotives in the series who works for the North Valley Shortline. 
== Bio: ==
Georgia is often seen delivering freight to the mountain, she also occasionally works on the tourist train. She also is used on local or branch line freight too. She's also used a lot when the winter season kicks in, and is used for the snow plowing jobs along with Thurmond. Every once in a while, she's also used on main line freight. 
Georgia was bought by the North Valley in 1973 when she was retired from Alaska Railroad. When ARR retired her, they debated on who to send away, her or her brother Arthur. She was picked because she was in better condition. Her delivery to North Valley was challenging, as she had to be delivered by truck. She was lifted back onto the rails when she arrived in Hazard, and was then delivered to the North Valley. She was rebuilt and restored back into service in 1976.
Georgia is a caring, hard working, and inspirational unit. She always reminds those who are feeling down that they must serve the purpose they are made for, and does so in a inspirational way. Much like Ashley, she acts like a mother figure to the younger acting engines.

== Trivia: ==
*Her real life basis was rebuilt into a chop nose around the late 1950's/early 1960's. She was retired in 1973, and is now on display in Wasilla, AK at the Museum of Transportation & Industry.
*An interesting note is that her real life model, along with RS1 #1001, were Alaska Railroad's first diesel locomotives.
*Her real life model was never pictured with the ARR blue and yellow striped scheme as shown on her Trainz model, but sources say that she was painted in that scheme after WW2, but then got repainted to black with yellow outlines not long after.
