Rachel

Rachel is one of the locomotives who works for the North Valley Shortline.
== Bio: ==
Rachel works on the main line freight trains and yard work, and is also used for yard work. She's equipped with a ice breaker to break icicles from the tunnels when it gets very cold, and gets used for clearing out the rails when it snows. She's often paired with Thurmond for that.
Rachel is a sweet engine who treats everyone like a sibling. She tries to stay positive and says things in an optimistic way. She also tries to keep everyone in a good mood. Rachel also loves looking at scenery, so sometimes she gets too distracted looking at the scenery when working.

== Trivia: ==
* Her real life model went to the SOO Line after Milwaukee Road merged into the SOO in 1986, and she was renumbered to 6309. Around the early 1990's, she was sold to EMDX and served as a leaser unit until 2006, where she was sold to NREX. As of today, she's assumed to be in dead storage at Silvis, IL. If not, her whereabouts are unknown.
*Rachel is also equipped with a Prime E-bell, although photos show that the E-bell was removed sometime after 1977/78. Photos also show her ice breaker was also removed sometime after 1979.
