Introducing the End of the Line Update, featuring a whopping thirteen-and-a-half-minute long animated short, new cosmetics, a new taunt from the short, and an update page, all thought up and designed by the TF2 community. Awesome job!
TF2 Blog

The End of the Line Update was a major community-created update. It brought one new multi-class weapon, 23 new cosmetic items, a new Pyro taunt, as well as a collection of items for leaderboard tracking.

Videos

The main feature of the update was the community-created SFM video titled End of the Line. Its plot consists of BLU sending off a runaway train filled with bombs, and RED's attempts to stop it from reaching their base.

The trailer for the SFM was uploaded on August 28th, 2013, and originally started as a spontaneous passion project made by McVee to practice her visual storytelling and animation. A week after the release of the trailer, she was invited to Valve headquarters to talk and present what she had made to the SFM team before being proposed by Robin Walker with the idea of 'making it official'.[1]
