All Aboard and Steamer are the placeholder names of two male Earth ponies who work as Friendship Express train conductors. They are officially unnamed, being referred to simply by their titles: "All Aboard" is Conductor in some episode credits, Gameloft's mobile game, and some episode scripts, is Conductor Pony in short credits, some episode scripts, and short script(s), is Ticket Agent in some episode credits and some episode scripts, and is Porter Pony in some episode credits and some episode script(s); "Steamer" is Train Conductor in credits and scripts.

Steamer shares his name with a G1 earth stallion who is also big on trains.

Designs[]

"All Aboard" has a pale blue coat, dark gray mane and tail, gold eyes, and a cutie mark of a pocket watch. He resembles "Brindle Young", Tall Order, "Steel Wright", and Karat.

"Steamer" has a light brown coat, usually brown and light brown mane and tail, gold eyes, and a cutie mark of either a train whistle or a guitar.

Depiction in the series[]

Though the Friendship Express train debuts in the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic season one episode Over a Barrel,[note 1][4] the usual Friendship Express conductors are not shown until season two's introduction of the common design for the train. "Steamer" is present in the first six versions of the animated sequence for the remastered My Little Pony theme song, appearing in this sequence even earlier than his first appearance in the series proper.

Notes[]

  1. Pulled by Full Steam, "Caboose", "John Bull", and "Evening Star", each of whose other appearances all lack Friendship Express involvement; Enterplay collectible card game α #31 R associates Full Steam and possibly "John Bull" with the otherwise-unidentified "first train team on a non-stop trip from Vanhoover to Manehattan."
