FanFic: The Sodor Engines Characters: City of Wellsworth

City of Wellsworth is a mean express engine.

History

City of Wellsworth was built in 1904. He was purchased by the Wellsworth, Suddery, and Knapford Railway, and worked as a premier express engine there. He was assigned to the construction of Tidmouth station in 1923, and soon rose to head of construction. However, he was a terrible manager, taking credit for others' work and being rude to everyone. The engines working under him nicknamed him "Cow", after the first letters of his name.

Things took a bad turn for him, however, when his disregard for the rules lead to a forest fire. City of Wellsworth tried to keep anyone from finding out, but Edward discovered the truth and exposed him. He was demoted, and Edward was put in his place. City of Wellsworth crossly swore revenge.

His chance came when Edward was taking glass for the roof of the station. City of Wellsworth plotted to destroy him by pushing him off a cliff, then make it look like Edward had been trying to destroy the glass and accidently fell himself. Sammy discovered his plan, though, and Zachariah and Abby arrived to rescue Edward. The three subdued City of Wellsworth, but as Abby was coupled up to him to take him down to the station, her brakes failed. They rolled backward, and City of Wellsworth's tender was lost, with him hanging by a thread and slowly moving backward. Edward tried to save them, but it wasn't enough and he and Abby fell into the abandoned quarry. He was salvaged the next day and scrapped.

Personality

City of Wellsworth was mean, rude, arrogant and spiteful. He also had a blatant disregard for the rules, which was the indirect cause of his demise.
