The 3985 alongside the 1983, one of the railroad's newest diesel locomotives built on Eugene, Oregon. The 1983 is specially painted in a heritage scheme, honoring the Western Pacific Railroad, absorbed by the UP in 1983. The 1983 had assisted the big steamer for the rugged crossing of the Cascade Mountains.

The documentation from that expedition validates the still tumultuous conditions of the land separating the Alpine Confederation from Partium, as well as confirmed the "sea of glass" marking where Budapest once stood.

Photo of Naruhito in Oxford before Doomsday. Naruhito is believed to be the direct survivor of the Japanese Imperial Family, after majority of them perished when Tokyo suffered multiple nuclear strikes on September 26, 1983. Although it appears the direct descendant of the House of Yamato has been stranded in Britain for almost three decades, it is unknown if he will ever return to Japan to rightfully claim his title on the throne.

Now how is possible that he is alive?

Oxford was not hit.
There was a discussion on the wiki back then regarding Naruhito's fate: https://althistory.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Japan_(1983:_Doomsday)#New_Emperor
Considering how Japan has had over 2 decades worth of "interregnum," who would most likely take the Chrysanthemum Throne? I'm not an expert on the dynasty, but it's likely that some dynastic member was away from Tokyo during Doomsday.--114.108.194.203 14:00, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Was Oxford destroyed? because if it wasen't the heir apparent for the Japanese throne Crown Prince Naruhito could have survived DD. He studied in England at Merton College in 1983-85. --Yankovic270 14:20, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

You'd need to ask Mjdoch, as he is more or less the caretaker for the British Isles in this timeline. I wouldn't think Oxford would've been directly hit, but obviously the region was abandoned at some point after DD. You would also have to come up with a plausible way for Naruhito to get out of Oxford, perhaps to Ireland, and have him plausibly survive radiation, lack of food and violence. Has it been established that any ships were able to escape the British Isles after DD?--BrianD 17:21, November 10, 2009 (UTC)Yes, see History of New Britain. Mitro 17:27, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
If the King of Jordan could return to his home country so can the Crown Prince of Japan. --Yankovic270 17:31, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

That is irrelevant. All that matters is whether it is plausible that the person in question can do it. Mitro 17:38, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
I was thinking that that question would keep the throne empty in japan. It could be a Lord of the Rings Type situation, where the Japanese Government pays homage to a king who may or may not exist. Its a little theatrical, but after two decades, would they really feel that great of a need for a monarch who is entirely symbolic? The longer they wait, the less likely they are to replace the emperor.Desert viking 17:32, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
