Drayton

Drayton is a character who works for the North Valley Shortline. 
== Bio: ==
Drayton is an oddball of the fleet. He's heavily modified to improve his reliability, and was done so he can still work on the passenger trains, but he can also work on the freight trains.
After retirement from Amtrak, Drayton was bought by North Valley in 1982 for passenger service. He arrived inoperable, but he was rebuilt and heavily modified. See the trivia for his modifications. He was in service by early 1985. 
Drayton is friendly and social. He likes talking with most of the other locomotives and always likes to joke around.
