Matthew

Matthew is another Pride of the PRR character.

Bio
Matthew is a powerful steam locomotive built for heavy loads. However, he does not have a big ego and does not look down on other engines. His class is built differently than other PRR steam engines because due to wartime restrictions, he had to be modeled after a C&O T1. This caused confusion among other engines at first.

In C&O Spy, he was sent to Highland Valley to lend assistance before the holidays. Other engines who weren't used to seeing him were critical of him at first. Nonetheless, Matthew was kind and hardworking. But one day when Nick refused assistance over the Alleghanies and got stuck, Matthew came to his rescue. The engines soon gained respect for him.

He is voiced by Union Pacific 1982 Productions.

Basis
Matthew is a PRR J1 numbered 6432.
