Edward was Bio-Fused by Sodor Research Ltd sometime in the early 1980's.

When they were filming for the TV Series, Edward was to whistle to some kids on the platform at Wellsworth. However, when he did so, his whistle suddenly malfunctioned, causing blood to spray out of it and splash all over the boys, Edward seemed to survive, however.

When Sodor Railways went out of business, Edward was decommissioned along with several other Bio-Fused vehicles until they were found by HiT Logistics.
