Bio: (Note: totally fictional) Lewman is a 4-6-4 Hudson type Steam Locomotive manufactured by ALCO in 1927, and was one of twenty of engines of his class G-5d ordered to work for the Chicago, Minnesota and Michigan Railroad, and also he's Tom's Cousin. Much like his Cousin, Tom, he was Assigned to Pull Passenger Trains (Most Notably Rochester Flyer, Dakota Yankee, Duluth Cannonball, Wisconsin Arrow, Missouri Limited, Indianapolis Flyer, Minneapolis Limited and Rockford Limited) and Freight Trains. By 1942, Lewman's Smokebox was repainted to Dark Grey in his Wartime paint scheme and he would work well in any jobs he could fulfill throughout World War II handling local Passenger services as well as Military Troop Trains with a scar on his right eye. After the war, he was repainted back to his original paint scheme and continued to handle revenue assignments, until 1950s, after realizing the economic challenges of keeping and operating an all-steam locomotive fleet, the CM&M decided to begin purchasing diesels being ordered from ALCO and EMD, respectively. In 1958, they began prioritizing a complete dieselization of the railroad. The following year, the CM&M began to retire their E-6s. So they Decided to Planned a Farewell to Steam Excursion in late 1950s. In 1959, Adam was tasked to haul an 18-car Farewell to Steam excursion on the CM&M mainline, alongside with his Cousin, Tom, and other CM&M's Own Steam Locomotive. He was hauled it through the CM&M's Minneapolis Limited Division, and then he traveled over the Michigan Central Station from Detroit, Michigan to Chicago Union Station from Chicago, Illinois. After the excursion, He was retired from the CM&M, in March 1960. After his Retirement, he was Sold to Scrapyard in Chicago, Illinois, Along with his Cousin, Tom, and other CM&M's Own Steam Locomotives. But before he even got cut up, the Illinois Railway Museum requested the scrapyard to donate him to the City of Portland, Oregon, as a result of his hard work on the line. Until 1967, when he was donated by the CM&M and moved to the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois, to put on Outdoor Display in 1968. He was grateful to be saved but was rather sad to never run again. But that all changed when in 1973, when he was bought by the CM&M and moved to the CM&M Roundhouse in Rockford, Illinois to be Restored to Operation Condition for the Excursion Service. The Restoration will take 2 years to complete. The Restoration was completed in 1975, and he moved under his own power for the first time in 15 years, and his Smokebox was once again repainted to Dark Grey in his Wartime paint scheme. He was Pulling the CM&M's Excursion Trains until 1996, when he was Retired after the CM&M ended their Steam Program. After his 2nd Retirement, He was moved back to the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois to put in Outdoor Display. But that all changed when in 2012, When the CM&M brought back their steam program, leading to speculation that Lewman might again be restored to operating condition, alongside with other CM&M's Own Steam Locomotives. He was Moved to CM&M's Roundhouse in Rockford, Illinois to be Restored to Operation for their Steam Program Excursion. The 2nd Restoration will take 5 years to Complete. The 2nd Restoration was Completed in March 2017, And He was moved under his own power again for the first time in 22 years. Today, Lewman continues to pull the CM&M's Excursion Trains, along with other CM&M's Own Steam Locomotives. Space & w - Whistle b - Bell Click Him Unless you Mobile
