Mighty Moe

Mozart, popularly known as Mighty Moe, is a big T1 who is currently under restoration, and will eventually work for the North Valley Shortline. 
== Bio: ==
Mighty Moe is a T1 being restored by the North Valley Workshops. Once his restoration is completed, he will be used for excursions and passenger trains. He will also occasionally be used on the freight trains when he has to. 
When PRR retired the T1 class in 1955, David McGuire, the father of Adam McGuire, looked at taking one of them to be converted to heavy freight work. They managed to buy Moe, and he was delivered along with a boxcar of some spare parts, but not enough for a proper conversion. He was put in stand-by for conversion. His conversion never happened, and he was left sitting in the workshop for nearly 66 years. When the railroad remembered he was sitting in the workshops, they took the initiative to raise the money to fully restore him to operational condition.
Mighty Moe is a wise figure who always tries to help, but he doesn't hesitate to share a joke often. Even while under restoration, when someone is in the workshops, he gives advice and helps those who feel down. He often teases a little too when sharing a joke.

== Trivia: ==
* His real life model was retired in December 1953 with only 7 years of revenue service on PRR, and scrapped in 1956 at Crestline, OH.
* The PRR T1 class was introduced in 1942 with 2 prototype locomotives, #6110 and 6111. The production class were built between 1945-1946. The first batch was built by Altoona Juniata Shops (5500-5524), while the second batch was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works (5525-5549). 
** The T1's streamlining was designed by French-American designer, Raymond Loewy, who has also designed the streamlined K4's, the S1 #6100, an experimental streamlining with the Q1/Q2 class, the redesigned streamlining of the PRR's Baldwin Sharknose diesels, and was credited with improving the GG1's design. 
* In real life, there is currently a T1 replica being built by the T1 Trust. The Pennsylvania Railroad T1 #5550, which is expected to be completed in 2030. It will differ from the original T1's, by using a rotary valve gear, having EMU cabling, modern braking system, amongst other improvements.
