Registered Phenomena Code: XXX

Object Class: Alpha-White

Hazard Types: Sentience Hazard, Sapience Hazard

Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is to be kept and contained in a designated railway, built around Site-279 that expands to other sites located within the region. A small shed is to be accessed for bi-weekly maintenance, situated at the east end of Site-279. RPC-XXX must be maintained by personnel under Level 3 clearance; use of CSD personnel are authorized for maintenance assistance. RPC-XXX is to be appropriated for off-site activities, including transportation biofuel and assisting in transporting materials needed to contain other anomalies.

Description: RPC-XXX is an E2 Class LB&SCR tank engine that was constructed in 1915. RPC-XXX appears to be sentient, upon first discovery, RPC-XXX was found pulling a load of empty coal trucks without a driver, and has been seen without a driver multiple times. RPC-XXX is not hostile, as it seems to only do various railway related tasks, such as pulling passenger cars, and shunting trucks into lines. RPC-XXX has not shown any signs of communication and did not interact with staff when discovered. RPC-XXX has been seen operating for multiple days without stopping for a refill on coal or water, it is believed that RPC-XXX can produce these materials on its own. Occasionally, RPC-XXX has also been seen entering a small shed after working and does not emerge until the morning after. RPC-XXX has also been seen stopping when a living being steps onto the track, blocking RPC-XXX from moving. After the person or animal steps off the track, RPC-XXX continues operation.

Discovery: RPC-XXX was discovered in the Redesdale Railway Line.1 RPC-XXX was called to Authority attention after reports of a "ghost train" seen pulling a carriage on the abandoned railway. After approaching the area, RPC-XXX was found in a small quarry filling trucks with coal.

Addendum 001: During the construction of the containment wall, RPC-XXX was seen approaching the containment wall with multiple trucks behind it, the object then stopped in front of the wall, revealing that the trucks were full of concrete blocks to assist the personnel in building the containment wall. It is now confirmed that RPC-XXX does acknowledge staff, but simply does not interact with them.

Addendum 002: On 12/04/20, personnel involved with research on RPC-XXX entered the shed where the object rests. A workbench is located inside the shed, that has multiple blueprints that list RPC-XXX's basic information, such as its build, and various parts. A small notecard was taped at the bottom of the blueprint, the transcript is listed below.

Type: Steam Engine

Build: E2

Des: No.105

Built with pure love. Will work for hours on end without stopping. A special little engine that will happily work for anyone, and will even assist you in any way it can. A very useful engine, indeed.
