## Biography

### Basic

It’s implied that prior to the 1950s, Frank was a switcher who did basic jobs for Mr. Hunter rather than bigger ones alongside the other, larger locomotives in the Southern Pacific Railroad.

He usually works with Eric, another small switcher. They have shared many adventures, almost to the extent that it is impossible to imagine one without the other. Ever since Eric joined the crew, he and Frank have been the best of friends. Hudson tends Frank to look after others.

### Episodes

In Eric and the Signal, he meets Eric in the yards when he is searching for him. When Eric pulls pranks on the bigger engines such as decoupling Addison from her train, pulling back on Mark after Elizabeth and Grayson pass, telling Nathan that he has a “day off” and giving Chris coal cars, he gets pranked by mistaking a signal for a “backing signal”. When Mark caught Eric falling for his trap, he runs off into the yards and tries to hide, leading Frank to try and find him. He then wanders off into the mainline at midnight. When Frank, Mark, Addison and Nathan find Eric derailed, Frank took Eric to the works to be repaired. He was the only locomotive that didn’t lose his likeliness for Eric after his pranks.

In Nathan in a Mess, he was being bossed around for being “too dirty”. He, along with Eric, Addison, Mark and Nathan were assigned to haul freight trains at night. When Nathan passed Frank while he was pulling a train, he ignored Nathan, causing Nathan to get mad to the point he lost focus and crashed into some tankers. When Nathan was placed onto some flatbeds by a crane, Nathan was brought back by Frank and Grayson.

In The Missing Cars, he was to bring locomotive parts for the Locomotive Works of Los Angeles, but a small tank engine stole them, and he, Eric and Westley pursue the engine. His name was Rogue, and he was stealing freight cars to keep some thieves from holding his friend hostage. After they caught the actual thieves, Rogue went back to Santa Maria to work at the Munitions Factory.

In The Sunset Limited, when he was in a conversation with Eric, Mark, Addison, Vince and Nathan. he got told by Mark about Southern Pacific #6018, a rude diesel that bullied Mark at El Paso. The next night, he is one of the engines that #6018 bullied while on the mainline. He then is one of the engines that help with the plan to stop him. They have a conversation at San Francisco until the Yardmaster arrives and assigns them to jobs. Then, he meets the diesel locomotive again, and he tells Rafael to take the Sunset Limited back to Los Angeles. Mr. Hunter’s ride was enjoyable after Rafael did a quick run to Los Angeles.
