Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tales from the Other Railway is a Thomas the Tank Engine fanfic taking place on The Other Railway, which in the TTTE universe was slang for British Rail but in this fanfic is a sort of Bizarro Universe version of the North Western Railway. While the Island of Sodor is a magical place where dreams come true, the Other Railway is a run-down hellhole where nightmares go to die. While the Steam Team are the heroes of most TTTE stories, the diesels on the Other Railway are the Villain Protagonists of most Tales from the Other Railway stories. The stories revolve around the misadventures of Diesel and his associates as they "work together" under the incompetent Thin Git. Their adventures are often based on stories that took place on Sodor in Thomas the Tank Engine and The Railway Series, but "while clouds never last long on Sodor, they hang over The Other Railway continuously!"Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })ProfessorVengeance wrote most of the stories while some other fan-fics based off the concept have also been written by other writers such as 9 on Sodor Island Forum, they will be listed here for consistency.Some of the series is viewable here: https://web.archive.org/web/20170616132057/http://www.sodor-island.net/talesfromtheotherrailway/index.htmlThe rest is viewable here: http://sodorislandforums.com/user/131/recent_threads, just note you need to make an account first.Needs Wiki Magic Love |

Punny Name: Nearly everyone who isn't from the official source material has one, Such as The Thin Git/Sir Wyatt Fronts, Mrs. Cruelly, BoZo and Private Parts. Taken Up to Eleven in History of the Other Railway, not only with each of the controllers before Wyatt being an underwear pun (i.e. Sir Louis Boxington Shorts, Jock Strap and Lee Vanderhosin) and every character in the documentary having one, such as Dom(inic) Atrix, Hank Youmaam and William O Nare. |

No OSHA Compliance: The Other Railway. "Diesel, Spamcan and Young Sexybuffers" by 9 reveals that the coaches are held together with tape and blu-tack, and ProfessorVengeance's story "Smokey Screws The Deal" states that when the World Health Organization visited Barrow, their inspection gave a final grade of "D triple minus" and adding that it is "An accident waiting to stop happening". |
