Utterly Mad

Allan hears the call of the captain, and throws the throttle back to full. "Full steam a'ead!" he shouts. The engine suddenly starts to chug and rumble faster than he'd ever seen it before, and steam sprays through a pipe fitting near the ceiling. "Woh ther'!" he shouts, and pushes the throttle back. "Dam' thing's runnin' so fast, it'll tear itself apart..." he mutters to himself. He watches the stranger, who he still didn't know the name of, dash from his station and out of the room. "Bloody- Gagh..." he runs over to the now unoccupied station and adjusts a few valves, and then runs back over to his. He keeps hopping from station to station every minute or so, keeping the engine going as fast as he felt was safe.
