## New Game Menu

When you choose to begin a new game, you will be asked to select one of the following heroes as your main character.
| Anne Turner: When she's not lassoing jackrabbits or blasting old bottles with her trusty rifle, the sharp-shooting Anne Turner likes to help out around the railway station with her big brother Henry and their Dad, Winton. Although she's one of the prettiest damsels on the range, Anne can mix it up with the best of them and isn't afraid to get her hair mussed in the process.
| Henry Turner: The grease monkey of the family, Henry is rarely seen without a tool in his hand or axel grease on his face. Henry has always had a way with machines, building his first working steam engine at the age of 12, and his mechanical know-how is much appreciated around the train yard. After years of working with his father on the family railway, Henry yearns to run his own line someday.
