Biography
Emily was built in York in 1895 and was put into service the next year. She worked on the GNR for 17 years before meeting an engine on the L&YR, called James. They went on regular dates before Emily was transferred to the LNER in 1914, crushing the young mogul. She worked there for another 55 years before being purchased by Sir Topham Hatt III in 1969. There, she worked for many, many years.

Emily was talking to James about his atrocious behaviour to the new engine, Arthur, just before that very same engine crashed into the Sodor Steamworks, killing him and the other engine, Billy.

After Topham III's death in August of 2020, she fell into a deep depressive state, wherein she became incredibly bossy of other engines, leading to an accident where Health and Safety Inspector, Eric Jones, broke his arm and sued the railway and put Percy on trial, the engine at the head of the train that had the accident. A truck in the yard ratted Emily out and she was sent away from the island, sending James into another depression over losing his girlfriend.
