Rags to Riches

Taken from the journal of Head Engineer Paz Diaz

While I was checking in the guests to the train and there were a few notable individuals.

Firstly, two men boarded. The first man an American mister Johnny Bravo, He wore rather plain attire, a simple t-shirt and jeans. His face adorned with darkly shaded sunglasses contrasted by his slicked back silvery hair. The second man, mister Frankie Sinatra a fair bit shorter, had messy dark hair covered by a hat. He wore a Hawaiian shirt with tan slacks.

After the two gentlemen boarded a man of the church, Father Francisco De la Fe. Wearing a long black jacket, matched by black pants and a black shirt. Hia darkly colored attire contrasted only by the white of his priest collar.

After the good father was a young couple señor and Señora Silveira. I assumed only recently married, given the fact Señora Silveira keeps glancing down at a diamond ring on her finger. The woman, Catarina Silveira, wore a light blue pastel dress. The dress, not overtly fancy, still radiated an amount of wealth. Her recently betrothed, Señor Javi Silveira, wore a light gray suit, no tie rather the top few buttons of his white shirt undone.

Behind the happy married couple, an elderly woman. Señora Maria Martinez. She is a well known widower and generous figure of the local area. She has held many fundraisers and charity events to help the impoverished. A small woman in stature Señora Martinez wore a simple dark colored dress, her shoulders covered by an elaborately woven shawl. She had short graying hair and eating with large finally polished pearls set into them.

The final two passengers were a middle aged man Señor James Fernández and his daughter Isabel. Señor Fernández wore what was obviously an old suit, perhaps his only suit. Seems the jacket had been hemmed, his elbows had mixed colored patches to cover holes, and the front bore a few off color buttons. It looked as though a pattern was attempted and then given up on half way through. His hair was dark and messy with a few grays scattered throughout. His daughter Isabel a lively girl perhaps around 13, wore a light dress covered by a large sweater. She had long dark hair. In contrast to her father her clothes looked well cared for and clean.

With all the passengers boarded and gathered I gave a call to the operator to engage the engines.

"We are ready! Full steam ahead!" At this the train began to pull out the station.
