The Railway Series

Over the years, Catherine and Culdee have built up a strong working relationship, so he immediately knows if anything is wrong. She is very safety-conscious and was upset by Lord Harry's risk-taking when she worked with him. She is coupled in front, like other Culdee Fell Railway rolling stock, so she is responsible for warning Culdee about any dangers lying ahead of them.
