Foreword by the Author

When the SNCF is in need of engines to keep up with demands, Etienne is introduced to the Bordeaux Railway. However, several predicaments slow things down from reckless behavior and mishaps on the main line.

THE ETIENNE SAGA is based on the Thomas and Friends character of "Etienne", a one-off character that appeared in "Thomas and Friends: The Great Race". This story also serves as the origins of the French Electric, as well as a "what if" if the Rev. Wilbert Awdry (or his son, Christopher) wrote him as a character.
