THE STORY OF ROSCO

Rosco was a plush bear with warm, honey-brown fur and a neatly sewn black bow tie. He lived in a rustic railway depot, not far from where the mighty Chesapeake & Ohio No. 614 would roll in for service. Towering above the shorter engines in the yard, the 614’s sleek body was painted in bold black and crisp white, accented by bright yellow lettering that always drew a crowd.

The Day Rosco Found a Home

One cool morning, as mist swirled around the rails, Rosco sat on a bench outside the depot. He had once belonged to a traveling salesman who left him behind in a hurry. Lonely and curious, he watched the comings and goings of locomotives, hoping for a new friend. That’s when a genial Engineer named Mr. Porter spied Rosco.

“You look like a perfect companion,” Mr. Porter said, scooping up the teddy bear. “I have just the place for you.”

And before Rosco knew it, he was riding inside the cab of the 614.

Marveling at the 614

The Chesapeake & Ohio No. 614 was a sight to behold. Its steam piping and giant driving wheels hinted at the raw power beneath its metal frame. Stenciled in bold yellow script along the cab was “C&O,” which gleamed bright against the black-and-white paint. From Rosco’s vantage point, every hiss of steam and turn of the wheels felt like a promise of adventure.

Mr. Porter gave the locomotive an affectionate pat. “She’s been through mountains, plains, and river valleys,” he told Rosco proudly. “And now you’ll be part of her story.”

A View from the Cab

As the 614 puffed out of the depot, Rosco peered through a window trimmed with coal dust, wide-eyed at the changing scenery. Hills dotted with autumn leaves glowed in the morning sun. Occasionally, a flock of birds soared overhead, and Rosco felt his little plush heart flutter at the endless possibilities the railway brought.

The heat from the firebox warmed the cab, and the rhythmic chuff-chuff of the locomotive lulled Rosco into a state of happy contentment. Every so often, Mr. Porter tooted the whistle, and it reverberated off distant hills, as if announcing Roscoe’s very presence to the world.

Passing Through Small Towns

One day, the 614 pulled into a modest town known for its cozy cottages and cheerful residents. People gathered on the platform to watch the grand locomotive arrive. Children waved flags and clapped, delighted by the engine’s towering presence. They also pointed and giggled at the teddy bear riding in the cab.

Though made of stuffing and cloth, Rosco felt a surge of pride. He waved back, and the crowd roared in delight. It seemed to him that the locomotive’s whistle blew just a bit brighter that afternoon as if sharing in his moment of joy.

Nightfall and Challenge

Weeks later, late in the evening, a driving rain pelted the 614 as it wound through a forested stretch of track. The train’s headlight pierced the darkness, illuminating trees swaying in the fierce wind. Rosco’s fur bristled with worry; he’d never seen weather quite so intense.

Suddenly, the crew spotted branches blocking the rails. With quick reflexes, Mr. Porter eased the throttle, slowing to a cautious stop. Mr. Porter and a few brakemen hopped down into the storm, battling wind and rain to clear the path. Rosco watched from the cab, wishing he could help. Even from inside, he felt the cold, but the bright glow of the firebox reminded him that he and the 614 were safe together.

After a flurry of effort, the rails were cleared, and the 614 chugged onward into the starless night, proud and determined. Rosco sensed a new admiration for the locomotive’s steadfast nature—nothing could stop this iron powerhouse.

A Warm Welcome Everywhere

News of the adventurous teddy bear and the steam engine with striking black-and-white paint soon traveled up and down the line. Passengers and rail enthusiasts came hoping to spot Rosco, who was often perched by a window or propped on the dashboard. Friendly stationmasters greeted him as though he were part of the official crew, offering playful salutes and warm smiles.

In one bustling city, a small group of children presented Rosco with a hand-drawn map of the Chesapeake & Ohio route, complete with mountains, rivers, and tiny doodles of trains. Mr. Porter pinned it to the cab wall, a reminder of how far Rosco had come and how many more adventures lay ahead.
