We're joined by Justin Roczniak, better known as urban planning and Cities: Skylines aficionado donoteat01, to discuss the labor politics and mass transit infrastructure of Thomas the Tank Engine. We dig into Sir Topham Hatt's troubling history of strike-breaking, Sodor's surprisingly durable residential housing, and the nature of locomotive sentience and being. ALSO: British Rail privatization, locomotives of the Great Leap Forward, *tons* of train info and, as a special bonus for our Philly native listeners, some complaints about SEPTA.
