Jeremiah Jobling

Jeremiah Jobling (1930-) was a stationmaster that worked on the Island of Sodor.

Bio
Born at the beggining of the '30's, Jobling was a member of the wealthy Jobling family. He was going to one of the most prestigious schools in England, Crosby High University (University of Crosby) but on his way there, the train stopped in a open field. The couplings between a few of the coaches were loose and they needed someones bootlaces to fix the coupling.

The driver and fireman asked the passengers if any of them had a bootlace. Eventually they found 18 year old Jeremiah Jobling who had two bootlaces. He orriginally refused to give them away but when it started getting cold, he gave them his bootlaces. He was in discrace but got over it quickly, unlike James, the engine that pulled the train.

After his university days, he decided not to return home and to stay on Sodor, buying a expensive mansion on the outskirts of Kirk Ronan.

Later he became a stationmaster and became so experienced that, with the help of his fathers money, was able to retire at age 36.

In his later years, he was asked to accompy Thomas during his trip to the National Railway Museum. During the trip, he saw his father for the last time (he died the following year.)

On one day in 1991, he was at a station and needed to be brought home. Thomas picked him up.

In 2010 to celebrate his 80th birthday, the junction at Crosby Yards has been renamed "The Jobline."

He's had three children, Richard Jobling (1965-), Valerie Huxley (1966-), and MacHarold Jobling (1970-). All three of them have close ties to Marshall Huxley as Valerie Huxley married him in 1989.

He has been sick recently and he has started staying in bed more often. However he still waves to Pip and Emma's 9:00 PM train every day and often goes to Knapford to see his children.

His hearing has also been decreasing making it extremely hard for him to hear Thomas crash nearby him with a load of freight cars. Currently he's fully deaf in his left ear and he's been having lots of troubles with his right ear.
