The show is set on the Waterdown Railway, a fictional railway that still utilizes steam traction into the modern day.

to:

The show is set on the Waterdown Railway, a fictional railway that still utilizes steam traction into the modern day. Its most recent acquisition is Atlas, a steam locomotive who seems to have [[LaserGuidedAmnesia lost his memory]] of where he was before the Waterdown Railway got him. As he settles into his new life on his new home, Atlas must try to figure out where he's from and what happened to him.

In that time, Atlas meets and gets to know the engines of his new home. These include Zebedee the old engine, Clay the proud blabbermouth, Dawn the hard-working shunter, and Cojack the Diesel engine. He also has to deal with Mr. Traverse, a local businessman who doesn't tolerate that the Waterdown Railway still uses steam locomotives, and is vocal about his dislike of them.

The series was launched on January 3rd, 2014.
