Feeling a mixture of awe and confusion, Mel soon took the time to near the little train as it pulled into the station. The little chuga-chuga-chuging slowed to a halt and it smoothly stopped by the platform. While he obviously had no idea what to expect, she was still surprised that no one was disembarking from the passenger car. With a gulp, she neared the door.
Just before she touched the handle, the door slid open, and someone exited onto the platform. The stranger was in a conductor's uniform, standing waist-high. While that meant little to someone as tall as Mel, it was still surprising, but not as much so as this little person's pearly-white complexion and bright-blue hair. With a huge smile on his face and looked like it had been there all his life, he brought his gaze to Mel.
"Well, hoooooowdy, lady!"
"GAH!" The teenager hopped back a bit, feeling beyond weirded out, "What... Okay, what is this?"
"Why, it's the engine that could, of course!" Giving the girl an enormous wink, the little man removed his conductor's hat, revealing a pair of elf-like ears, and used it to gesture to the door, "Why don'tcha come on in? You don't needa ticket to ride to Happytown!"
