Bio
Jace is Sodor's only Milwaukee Road Class A. He orginially ran the Hiawatha Passenger from Minneapolis to Chicago from 1937-1951 when Diesels too over the passenger services. After withdrawal, Jace said he didn't want to be scrapped so he was stored away and put on Sale by the Milwaukee Road. Later that month of withdrawl, the manager came up to him that Sir Topham Hatt from the Island of Sodor purchased him. Soon, he made his journey from Minneapolis to New York to catch his ship to Sodor, when he arrived on Sodor, he was excited to arrive with new friends greeting him. Then Sir Topham Hatt came up to him saying that he is a permanent resident of Sodor. On his first day on Sodor, he was shown around by Gordon who was surprised by Jace's unique looks. He got to see the beautiful sites on Sodor. THe next day when Gordon broke down due to a leak in his boiler and pipes needing replacing, he was asked to pull the Express for Gordon. As soon he was asked to pul the Express, he felt like he was passengers again. The Express route wasn't as long as the Hiawatha from his old days but he enjoys going down the line. A few days after his hard work, he was rewarded a new coat of paint and he was sent to the Sodor Steamworks to be repainted Turquoise and NWR Red with NWR writing onhis tender. That day onwards, he works in mixed traffic work, unlike what he did back on the Hiawatha.
