The History Bitch In Me Is Screaming For Not Connecting These Dots Sooner - Tumblr Posts

this is incredible analysis? this is such an interesting perspective to put emily's characterization in and its kind of gorgeous?? likr wow. it all makes so much sense. thank you for this post!

While I'm in an Emily mood, I may as well just share this ☝️ Magnificent documentary work, and features wonderful footage of Stirling Single No. 1.

I knew that the Great Northern Singles had the pretty glamorous job spearheading the express services up to Scotland and repping their company in the Great Races—

But here are some details I didn't know, and, from the perspective of Emily's characterization, they are just fascinating:

1. On an occasion where an engine ran less than one minute late on the express service, the G.N.R. made a point of apologizing profusely and citing "beastly weather" for the unconscionable delay.

2. Stirling did not put a front coupling link on this class because he expected that they would never need to be helped by another engine. Ever.

Um.

WOW?

Emily the New Build might be on the wayside in my personal headcanon—the notion of Emily the Ex-Top Link Golden Child trying to re-learn everything she knows about life after those insanely high-pressure expectations is in.
