It is January 1992...The train approaching is the freight train that Pancho Meerkat stowed away a ride aboard an open boxcar leaving Cuangar. The train made a slow down passing through the local village in which Pancho hopped out to spend the night in the village...It was in the morning when Pancho met Sy Aardwolf.

Garrett articulating steam locomotives are the most common locomotives used on this narrow gauge line.
