Psychosis

**Psychosis** is the fifth Trainz film. It was uploaded on February 3, 2017.

## Plot

It is March 1953. Rorick, an N&W A Class, has finished his train and begins bragging to his friend Jensen about his size and power, but Jensen reminds him that the railroad might be getting new diesels soon. Rorick doesn't believe him, as he doesn't think they're necessary. Jensen leaves to collect the Powhatan Arrow.

Two months later, new N&W diesels roll out of the shops, much to Rorick's horror. After he leaves to get his train, Jensen meets a new diesel named Henry. Jensen later shows Henry the yard while Rorick is shocked to find that two new diesels will be helpers for his train. Rorick is upset, as he can handle the train fine alone. On the climb up the hill, Rorick pulls extra hard, which causes the coupling to snap between the caboose and the diesel.

That night when Jensen leaves on his night run and when Henry returns from his first train, he finds Rorick and introduces himself, but Rorick is tired and wants to be left alone.

The next day, Rorick tells Jensen that he has doubts about the diesels, but Jensen thinks Henry is just fine and that they'll be okay. Rorick decides that he doesn't trust the new engines, but he'll work with Henry if he has to. Jensen leaves to visit his friend Norton, an older J class who is now on static display.

When Jensen finds Norton, the two engines talk about the diesel situation, and Norton reminds Jensen to be mindful of how things are. Jensen leaves, promising to stop by again.

One month later, Henry leaves on his train, excited. Rorick says that Henry's not bad, but he's worried. Just then, another J Class prepares for his train, which has been rerouted due to the accident out west one week ago. A lot of bridges in the country are worrying the inspectors, because the engine who derailed was a 4-8-4 like Jensen. The diesels are still light enough to go over the bridge. When Rorick hears this, he leaves in a huff. The J Class the leaves to collect his train.

That evening, a diesel powered freight train stalls on a hill and Rorick is called to help push. Rorick pushes hard to show off his power, but it didn't do good, as the dispatch was impressed and pulled Rorick off his freight jobs to be a helper, much to Rorick's dismay.

One month later, Jensen visits Norton again and tells him his worries regarding Rorick. Norton brings up replacement, and how Jensen's kind replaced his own and how Henry and the other diesels don't mean to replace steam engines, but railroads try to keep up with the latest technology. Jensen leaves, beginning a montage of diesels hard at work and Rorick pushing trains. It ends with Rorick biffing a caboose too hard, causing an accident.

Henry comes to Rorick's rescue, but Rorick is angry about being placed in helper service and potentially being replaced altogether. He accuses Henry and all the diesels of making this happen, but apologizes for his temper.

That night, Henry brings the sad news to Jensen that Rorick has been removed from service in general. Jensen goes to see Rorick, who is depressed and angry that he is being abandoned to rot away in the scrapyard. He sets off to dish his anger out on the diesels, also possibly to avenge the death of his brothers. He arrives at a yard where he starts bumping the diesels towards the buffers until a Fairbanks Morse Trainmaster emerges from the shed and battles Rorick until Rorick pushes him into the end of the siding. The train master hits the buffers in the shed and hits the support columns, causing the structure to fall on top of him and crush him to death in the process.

The next morning, the frightened diesels tell a heartbroken and confused Jensen about their near death experience and their friend's sacrifice and Jensen sets off to find Rorick.

Meanwhile, Rorick feels guilty, as this guarantees his demise. But then he has an idea. He'll pull a heavy freight train no one has ever seen before to prove his reliability. He collects a bunch of coal hoppers and starts away.

Jensen and Henry are trying to find Rorick when Rorick comes thundering towards them. Rorick is now chasing Henry down the line with Jensen in pursuit, trying to warn Rorick that he has to stop the train, as it's too dangerous. Henry begs for Rorick to listen to them as they want to help, but Rorick only roars loudly that the diesels "replaced him." Blinded by anger, he forgets that the switches are turned and Jensen crashes into Rorick's train and derails.

The derailed cars sever the brake pipe, causing the emergency brakes to apply. Rorick, thinking Jensen died, slams on his brakes as well. That combined with the slack from the emergency brake running in, and the fact that some of the cars have derailed in the middle of the train with more piling on, causes the train to derail in sections with several hoppers dragging the whole train off the tracks, even pushing Rorick into a position where the rest of the train keeps piling on him until his boiler cannot take it anymore. As this is happening, Rorick screams and shouts threats at Henry, blaming him and the other diesels for all his problems, the death of his brothers, and Jensen's presumed demise. Before long, Rorrick's boiler has been damaged to the point of failure which causes him to explode, setting fire to the wreckage, and causing an explosion so loud that it echoes around the railroad until even Norton can hear it.

Three months later, Jensen is repaired he and Henry are seen pulling the Powhatan Arrow, closing the film.

## Trivia

* In an early development, this film was going to be titled "The Natural Order".
* This films marks the first of a few things:
	+ First film to be edited in Adobe Premiere instead of Sony Vegas.

* The EMD diesels delivering new diesels might be reference to Gentle Giant.
* This is also the last Trainz film by Dajara521 to date.

## Goofs

* Some new N&W GP9s appear to have the same numbers. This is due to the fact that the creator could not find any N&W GP9s with Automated Running Numbers or at least changable numbers.
* N&W diesels appear to be arriving in 1953, but in reality, N&W did not order any diesels until 1955-1956.
* An N&W SD9 appears in the newer N&W scheme.
* An Arby's building is near the yard even though Arby's was not established until 1964.
* Henry is heard with a K3LA horn, even though no K3LAs existed until 1977.
* The Powhatan Arrow is running with generic Pullman coaches instead of N&W coaches.
* When Rorick's train crashes, some of the crash sequences appear to be out of order. In addition, some of the cars are stopped when they are supposed to still be moving.
* The F Units (all ex-WAB), Trainmasters (all ex-VGN), and SD9s (all ex-NKP) did not arrive on N&W until a series of mergers in 1964, despite the year being 1953.
* Despite being the beginning of the N&W's dieselization, no ALCO RS-3s, which were the first diesels ordered by the N&W, are shown.
* N&W F7A units are shown pulling the Powhatan Arrow, even though the F7A units were only used in freight service. The GP9 units (and sometimes E units from railroads merged into the N&W in 1964) were used for passenger service on the N&W.
