Howie

Howie is a switcher who works at Lucky's Yard. Unlike the other fleets, who have tugs who work permanently, Howie is part of a long line of "back-up" tugs. If any of the tugs break down, instead of having the other tugs to do extra work, Howie will be prepped up for work. Usually, when the other tugs don't need help, he helps the Red Cross diagnose peculiar diseases found on tugs.
