Bio
At the beginning of Residual Haunting, Eddy was excited about it being the 60th anniversary of UP 836's wreck in 1953 and told his friend Ron about it. He also mentioned Steve visiting later.

After Steve's arrival, Eddy talked with him a bit about the UP 836 legend before he and Ron had to get to work. That night, Eddy heard 836's whistle, and even talked about it the next day.

The next night, he saw a derailment as well as UP 836's ghost. Following the accident, he and three of UP's other heritage units had a meeting regarding the event. Eddy, truly believing the ghost story, told them that a ghost may have caused the wreck, but they laughed it off. Because of this, Eddy began to worry about what could happen next.

He and Ron later went to the bridge where he heard a whistle and then saw a train wreck. He told Ron to tell the nearest yard crew, but fled the scene when he saw the ghost.

The next day, an emergency meeting was called about the accident. When people heard about the ghost story, they got scared and stopped trusting the railroad. The heritage units tried to send two more locomotives to purge Eddy, but the locomotives were derailed by 836's ghost.

Eddy sneaks out to the bridge that night where he sees unusual activity, and two engines looking for him.

The next morning, he is chased by two more hunter squads trying to capture him, which fail. Eddy stops by 836's bridge where 836's ghost pops up behind him and captures him. What became of him since is unknown to people.
