Benton

Benton is a sarcastic open-minded character who works for the North Valley Shortline.
== Bio: ==
Benton works on the main line freight, and often is used for switching at the various yards. Every now and then, he also gets used on track maintenance trains and general locals too.
Benton was bought by North Valley in 1986 to be used for all around freight and switching. He arrived operational. 
Benton is friendly and helpful, but acts sarcastic a lot. He often says things in an uncaring tone, often leading others to thinking he has an attitude. He's also very open to his views of certain scenic things and objects, and says how much he likes or doesn't like something. While he tries not to hold grudges on anyone, Matt absolutely hates him. Benton can also really roast anyone who he finds annoying.

Benton's model is JointedRail's MP GP38-2 early blue. It's payware and can be purchased for $15.00.

== Trivia: ==
* His real life basis was built as MP GP38 #575, and then renumbered not long after to #2005. In December 1987, he was sold to Helm Leasing for a short time until November 1989, when he was sold to the Iowa Interstate and renumbered to #602. According to some sources, it says he was sold to GMTX in 2007 and renumbered to #2081. He's assumed to still be in service as of today, as he's still listed on GMTX's roster, although current whereabouts are unknown.
*Although his Trainz model is a GP38-2, he's actually a pre dash 2 GP38.
