Mail 6131’s lore: Mail is a 4-4-6-4 duplex Q2 built by the altoona Works in 1944 and was the first of its kind! He pulled vast freight along the Pennsylvania’s line up until 1956 where diesels had taken over and all Q2’s were scrapped. But 6131 was saved by MailRail Excursions & Commuter (MREC) for display, but in in the 1990s, He was given the chance to go under his own power for the MREC’s freight services due to the thing being meant for freight. Then in 2013, Mail received new Tuscan red paint, but keeping his number and keystone plate. The day it happened: While Mail was taking a coal train back to Altoona for NS, there had been an avalanche that had struck another train going by Horseshoe Curve with 460 pulling an excursion, (E-6 type) Mail waited for help and was notified of the incident at the U&F works. Mailbox, his engineer had called for help and finally a MREC crane arrived to save 460. What was a Strasburg locomotive doing on the mainline? Well, in this universe, 460 is in ownership of MREC.
Mailboxes lore: After the incident on horseshoe curve, he had been working in the yard of Juniata and before he can do anything, the infected started attacking and a railcar had struck Mail in the leg, and arm. His face skin was torn off by one of the creatures and his eye was pulled out of his socket.
