Okay, so we see Railway Management doing all this shit, right, but supposedly itâs so much worse in the Other Railways? I mean, sure, you might get turned into a generator or bricked into a tunnel for not doing as youâre told, but at least youâre not cut up and sold for parts, right? Itâs not so bad on the island of Sodor, right?
Or maybe thatâs just what Railway Management wants the engines to think.
Maybe the island of Sodor is the real totalitarian regime, and the engine citizens (slaves) are fed propaganda, illustrated in hellish grays and sulfuric yellows, about how bad it is everywhere else, at all the Other Railways.
You are lucky to be an engine of Sodor.
Railway Management cares about you.
Trust Railway Management.
It Could Be So Much Worse.
