Snow, and Ponies On The Rails
January 4, 1954
Snow can be a problem for many railroads. Some ponies decide to close down their lines until they are cleared. Other railroads like the Union Pacific, and the Southern Pacific keep their trains running no matter what the weather.
Inside the Cheyenne train station
Pete: Alright. Now I know, that snow can be a hard thing to handle.
Hawkeye: Especially if you get 12 feet of it.
Pete: But the Southern Pacific is letting us borrow some of it's equipment. We have two rotary snowplows, a flanger, and three Jordan Spreaders.
Gordon: Why did we only get six snowplows?
Pete: We're just borrowing them. We have our own equipment, but the snowplows that we got from the SP will come in handy. They also gave us this training film. *Playing film*
this is the video they're watching: link
Hawkeye: *Sees snow in video* Wow. That is a lot of snow.
Stylo: Good thing we don't have to operate on wherever that is.
Hawkeye: Hopefully we never have to.
The video was twenty minutes long. When it ended, everypony went to work.
Gordon: What kind of jobs do you have?
Hawkeye: We're going east to clear the line.
Gordon: Hopefully you don't get stuck.
Stylo: Thanks.
Gordon: Because that would be so funny! *Laughing* I remember seeing that passenger train in the video, and it was stuck for three days. *Laughing*
Stylo: It wouldn't be funny if that happened to you.
Gordon: Well it never happened to me, and it never will! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get a freight over Sherman Hill. *Goes to train yard*
Hawkeye: Alright, the snowplows are over there, Pete told us to take one of the rotaries.
Stylo: Good idea. We have a shitload of snow to clear.
Gordon was at the trainyard.
Gordon: Percy! Which train am I taking?
Percy: You have to drive that challenger with the boxcars.
Gordon: *Sighs* Even though I hate steam engines, I'm only taking it because it's very powerful.
Percy: Maybe there will be a diesel as powerful as the big boy.
Gordon: Yeah, maybe in fifty, or sixty years.
Percy: Or maybe sooner than that. You never know.
Gordon: Right. I have to get going now, otherwise I'll be late. *Goes to engine*
Wilson: *Waiting in engine*
Gordon: Wilson. What are you doing here?
Wilson: I'm your fireman.
Gordon: What about the train yard?
Wilson: We're not going to worry about that. All the snow has closed it off.
Gordon: I thought so. *Drives train*
Wilson: What are you doing? The signal was still red!
Gordon: Do you remember what it said in that video? Keep the equipment, and the snow moving. If we stayed there, we would've been stuck in the snow.
Wilson: Yeah, but-
Gordon: We must get over Sherman Hill before too much snow gets on the tracks.
Wilson: *Sighs* You're the engineeer pal.
Gordon continued driving the train, and passing red signals.
Meanwhile, with Pierce, and Stylo.
Hawkeye: *Driving rotary snowplow*
Stylo: *Looking out window* Man, that's a lot of snow.
Hawkeye: Well, I'm not surprised. Pete said we would get twelve feet of snow.
Stylo: Yeah, but this looks like more then twelve feet.
Hawkeye: *Checks fuel gauge* Okay, I'll tell you what. We have to refuel soon, so when we're doing that, both of us will go outside, and see how deep the snow is. If it's under twelve feet, you have to sit on the top of the train all the way to wherever we have to go. If it's over twelve feet, I'll let you drive the train.
Stylo: What do you have to do?
Hawkeye: While you're driving the train, I have to...
Stylo: Clean my car.
Hawkeye: You read my mind. *Sees water, and coaling tower* Let's stop, and refuel here.
Stylo: Sounds good to me.
Hawkeye: *Stops train*
Stylo: *Goes to top of train*
Hawkeye: *Standing in snow*
Stylo: *Pouring water into locomotive*
Hawkeye: Ha, the snow is lower than the engine. You have to sit on top of the train for the whole journey.
Stylo: We never shook on it.
Hawkeye: Aw, fine. I wouldn't want you to get frostbite anyway. Get back in the engine, and I'll pour in the coal.
Stylo: Thank you good sir.
Gordon continued driving past red signals. He got past the last one, and they started climbing Sherman Hill.
Wilson: No more signals. We're gonna make it.
Gordon: Yes we are. Let's just get some more speed. *Pushes throttle*
Wilson: I thought we were doing fine.
Gordon: Nah, we must go as fast as possible. Keep the equipment, and the snow moving.
Wilson: I don't think they meant it like this.
Gordon: Bullshit.
Wilson: *Looking out window* Uhm, Gordon. Have you looked out the window at all yet?
Gordon: Why, what's happening- *Drives into snowdrift*
Wilson: That explains why all the signals we passed were red.
Gordon: *Tries to drive backwards* Come on, don't be stuck!
Wilson: Gordon. I'm sorry to tell you this, but we're stuck.
Gordon: Aw man. *Hits head on chair* Hold up, I just got an idea. *Going outside*
Wilson: Where are you going?
Gordon: Outside. I'm gonna try to use my magic to get rid of all that snow.
Wilson: Okay. *Waiting in engine*
Gordon: *Using magic*
Gordon concentrated hard, but instead of getting rid of the snow, he got rid of the engine they were using.
Wilson: *Lands in snow* Great work.
Gordon: Well, this could be worse.
Wilson: Oh yeah, this could be worse. How could anything be worse than this?!
Another train passed them, and pushed snow into them.
Wilson: *Coughing* Just what I wanted.
Gordon: Well, at least we can talk.
Wilson: About what?
Gordon: What did you do in Korea?
Wilson: Killed ponies. Now it's time for you to shut up, and leave me alone. You said things would get worse, and they did. Now things can't get anymore bad, can they?
Their train rolled downhill.
Gordon: Our conductor must have put off the brakes.
Wilson: Oh my god. What was he thinking?!
Gordon: I don't know.
Meanwhile, in Cheyenne.
Pete: *Making hot chocolate*
Orion: *Walks in office* Remember how I said I wouldn't try to get fired on purpose?
Pete: *Nods head*
Orion: I lied about that.
Pete: Why am I not surprised? What did you do this time?
Orion: I made a huge pile of snow on the tracks. It could derail any train coming towards it.
Pete: Not really, but whatever.
The runaway train then arrived, and derailed once it hit the snow.
Pete: I stand corrected.
Orion: *Runs outside*
Conductor: Gordon, and Wilson got stuck in the snow.
Pete: Oh great.
Orion: How did this train come rolling down the hill?
Conductor: I saw that no smoke was coming from their engine, and I thought they were getting ready to move, so I turned off the brakes, but they broke, and I couldn't put them back on.
Pete: So you're saying they uncoupled their locomotive from the train?
Conductor: That could be a possibility. We need to go help them.
Pete: Alright. Let's get a switcher, and a coach ready for them.
Conductor: Yes sir.
East of Cheyenne
Hawkeye: Well, we cleared all the snow off the line.
Stylo: Good. *Hears phone ringing*
Hawkeye: I got it. *Answers phone* Hello?
Pete: Pierce, it's Pete. We need your help at Sherman Hill. Gordon got stuck.
Hawkeye: Great. We'll be there soon. *Hangs up* Guess what?
Stylo: What?
Hawkeye: Gordon got his train stuck in the snow!
Stylo: *Laughing*
Hawkeye: *Laughing*
Back at Sherman Hill
Pete: *Stops train near Gordon* Where's your engine?
Gordon: It's gone.
Pete: What do you mean?
Gordon: I accidentally made it disappear with magic.
Pete: What?!
Wilson: He wanted to get rid of the snow with magic, but accidentally got rid of the engine instead.
Pete: Get in you two.
Gordon, and Wilson: *Gets in passenger car*
Pete: *Drives train back to Cheyenne*
At the station, Hawkeye, and Stylo were waiting.
Hawkeye: *Sees Gordon* So, what happened with you getting stuck in the snow?
Gordon: Fuck you.
Stylo: I thought it wouldn't happen to you.
Gordon: Go kill yourself.
Hawkeye: Are you going to stay embarrased for long?
Gordon: You know what? If I could punch you in the face, I would, but I can't because I would be fired. So instead, I'm going to-
Stylo: *Flying to roof of station*
Gordon: What's he doing?
Stylo: *Pushes snow from ceiling onto Gordon*

Episode 32
Gordon Goes East
January 9, 1954
On many railroads, steam engines were being replaced by diesels. This was called dieselization, and there were several railroads that were operating only diesel engines, but most railroads still had steam.
Gordon: *Seeing Bigboy pass with freight train* I can't wait to see all those Bigboys go.
Hawkeye: Aw, come on Gordon, you know damn well that no diesel will ever be as powerful as the Bigboy. It's the largest engine in the world, and powerful enough to pull a train five miles long.
Gordon: I don't care. It's still a steam engine, and it needs to be replaced.
Stylo: *Arrives* What's the matter now?
Hawkeye: Gordon thinks that all steam engines need to be scrapped.
Stylo: I kinda have to agree with him.
Hawkeye: What, why?
Stylo: Although diesels aren't as powerful as steam engines, they're faster, and more fuel efficent, but Gordon keeps being a dick about this whole situation, so that's why I'm thinking of sending him to work on the Norfoal & Western.
Gordon: Why that railroad?
Stylo: It's the only railroad in Equestria that doesn't have any diesels.
Gordon: Well, you're not sending me there, that's for sure.
Stylo: Oh yeah? Let's see what Pete has to say.
Pete: *Arrives* Did somepony say my name?
Stylo: I did. Gordon wants to go to the Norfoal & Western.
Pete: He does? Okay, I'll make the appropriate arrangements, and no matter what you say, you're still going.
Gordon: I hate you all.
Song: link
Gordon got on an airplane, and was sent to Norfoal Virginia to work on the N&W
Gordon: *Looking for sign that says L*
Pony: *Holding L sign*
Gordon: *Sees sign* Ah, good. I'm Gordon.
Pony: And I'm Franklin. Come with me, and we'll get you set for your first, and unfortunately, your only day with working for us.
Gordon: Alright.
They leave the airport, and get in a brand new Corvette.
Franklin: My car, you like it?
Gordon: Yeah. We had to deliver some of these cars a couple of days ago back on the UP.
Franklin: Nice. *Starts car, and drives to train station*
Gordon, and Franklin arrived at the train station.
Franklin: Sir?
Boss Stephenson: What do you want?
Franklin: Remember that pony Pete Reimer you were talking to on the phone?
Boss Stephenson: Yeah. Did he send that new pony to help us?
Franklin: He's right here with me.
Boss Stephenson: *Staring at Gordon* Why is he so fat?
Gordon: You're going to judge me by my looks? You're a great boss.
Boss Stephenson: Yeah, well you complain a lot.
Gordon: At least I don't judge ponies by their appearance.
Chinese Pony: *arrives* I just finished switching those freight cars sir.
Gordon: *Pointing at chinese pony* COMMUNIST!!
Boss Stephenson: Ignore him Hector, you did good.
Chinese Pony: Right. Thank you. *Leaves station*
Boss Stephenson: Now Gordon, I hear that you don't like steam locomotives. Now, I'm not going to ask why, but I think after you finish working here for only one day, your opinion will change.
Gordon: What if it doesn't?
Boss Stephenson: Well, let me put it this way. If you don't change your opinion on the Iron Horse, you'll never be able to leave here.
Gordon: You can't do that.
Boss Stephenson: Let me talk with your boss. *Grabs telephone*
Meanwhile in Cheyenne
Pete: *In office, and answers telephone* Hello, Union Pacific's Cheyenne Train Station, Pete Reimer speaking.
Boss Stephenson: Peter? Your faithful Gordon says that he won't change his opinion on the steam locomotive.
Pete: Well, you do whatever you can to make Gordon change his mind, no matter how long it takes.
Boss Stephenson: Did you hear that Gordon?
Gordon: Loud, and clear.
Boss Stephenson: Then, get to work.
Gordon: *Leaves station with Franklin*
Franklin: *Pointing at articulate steam engine* Isn't this thing a beauty?
Gordon: No.
Franklin: Do you at least know that it's a very powerful locomotive?
Gordon: Yes. Let's get this over with so that I can get back to Cheyenne.
Franklin: Okay. *Climbs in engine*
Gordon: *Climbs in engine*
Signal Pony: *Turns signal from red to green*
Gordon: *Blows whistle*
Franklin: *Shoveling coal into firebox*
Gordon: *Drives freight train*
Franklin: So far, so good.
Gordon: Yep. How come your railroad doesn't have any diesels?
Franklin: We deliver a lot of coal on our railroad, and much of it is brought here for our engines, so we decided to make sure none of those special black rocks went to waste.
Gordon: Seems like a good idea, but if you got diesels on here, you could give more coal to your customers.
Franklin: That is a good idea, but you'd have to talk to Boss Stephenson about that. He's really fond of these engines, and many other steam trains.
Gordon: Okay, I'll ask him, but I wanna get my job done first.
Gordon was doing well with driving the train.
Franklin: We'll be going up a hill soon.
Gordon: Oh please. This engine is powerful, it should get the entire train up by itself.
Franklin: But it doesn't. We tried having an empty freight like ours go up that hill once, but it still needed help. Coal is a very heavy thing to pull.
Gordon: I know. You should see the trains we have to deal with, some of them are so heavy, that we need two challengers to pull them.
Franklin: Double heading of very large locomotives just seems so interesting.
Gordon: I know. *Sees hill* Is this the hill you were talking about?
Franklin: Yeah.
Gordon: So we just stop, and let another engine get on the back to push?
Franklin: Yeah.
Gordon: Well, not this time. *Driving faster*
Franklin: Gordon? What are you doing?!
Gordon: Creating history. *Going up hill*
Frankin: I can't believe this.
Gordon: Believe it. I am getting this train up the hill without another engine pushing from behind. *Gets to top of hill* And no wheel slip too.
Franklin: That was impressive. For a pony that doesn't like steam trains, you know a lot about them.
Gordon: I have to, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive one.
Franklin: You know, Stephenson won't let you leave until you lose your dislike for steam trains.
Gordon: Well, I have an idea. Get somepony to take my place over here.
Franklin: *Sees station* I see a good spot.
Gordon: Good. *stops train*
Worker: What's going on?
Gordon: You're taking my spot. Get in there *Jumps out of engine*
Worker: Alright. *Gets in engine*
Gordon: *Goes to phone*
Worker: *Drives away*
Gordon: *Calling Boss Stephenson*
Boss Stephenson: *Hears phone ringing* Hello?
Gordon: It's Gordon. I learned my lesson, and I'm leaving your railroad.
Boss Stephenson: Where are you calling from?
Gordon: I'm in Roanoke right now.
Boss Stephenson: You finish your job, and I'll let you go back to Cheyenne.
Gordon: Yeah.. About that, the train is gone.
Boss Stephenson: What are you talking about?
Gordon: Somepony else took my place, and drove the train away.
Boss Stephenson: You should have made that call after you finished your job.
Gordon: I'm sorry, you never told me that.
Boss Stephenson: I knew you were fat, but I didn't know you were dumb.
Gordon: Judging me again, that's really great.
Boss Stephenson: Stay there, I'm coming to get you. *Hangs up*
Gordon: I can't let him get me. I have to get out of here somehow.
A passenger train arrives.
Conductor: All aboard for Norfoal!
Ponies: *Getting on train*
Gordon: Ah, what the heck? *Gets on train*
Meanwhile in Norfoal
Boss Stephenson: How do I get to Roanoke's train station from here?
Worker: You just stay on the main highway, and turn on exit 6.
Boss Stephenson: Thank you. *Flying above highway*
Worker: He just doesn't like to drive.
Back at Roanoke
Gordon: *Sitting in passenger car*
Conductor: All aboard!
Engineer: *Blows whistle twice*
Signal Pony: *Turns signal from red to green*
Engineer: *Drives train*
Gordon: *Sitting comfortably in chair*
Conductor: Ticket?
Passenger pony: *Gives Conductor ticket*
Conductor: *Checks ticket* Here you go. *returns ticket*
Passenger pony: Thank you.
Gordon: Oh no, I didn't buy a ticket.
Boss Stephenson: *Sees Gordon in train, then flies after it*
Conductor: Ticket please?
Gordon: *Carrying two hundred dollars* How about this instead?
Conductor: *Takes money, then grabs Gordon*
Gordon: What are you doing?
Conductor: No ticket, no ride. *Takes Gordon towards door*
Boss Stephenson: *Flying by door*
Gordon: You can't do this.
Conductor: Whatever you say. *Opens door, and kicks Gordon off train*
Boss Stephenson: *Sees Gordon on ground* Well, well well. You thought you could trick me, but it didn't work.
Gordon: (Wait a minute. Teleportation) Yep. You really outsmart me.
Boss Stephenson: Now you're going to do another job for me.
Gordon: *Charging horn*
Boss Stephenson: *Stands back* What, you gonna shoot me?
Gordon: *Teleports to Cheyenne*
Boss Stephenson: Great. He's gone.
In Cheyenne
Jeff: Oh, hello Gordon. Have you had a good time on the N&W?
Gordon: *Being sarcastic* Oh yeah, a swell time. One day, we have to go there together.
Jeff: *Walks away*
Pete: Well, I'm glad to see you're back. Boss Stephenson didn't tell me about you returning.
Gordon: He forgot.
Pete: Really?
Gordon: Yes, he really forgot!
Pete: Okay. I believe you.
Gordon: Good.
Pete: Oh, and one more thing, make sure you call me before leaving without permission.

Gordon Goes East
January 9, 1954
On many railroads, steam engines were being replaced by diesels. This was called dieselization, and there were several railroads that were operating only diesel engines, but most railroads still had steam.
Gordon: *Seeing Bigboy pass with freight train* I can't wait to see all those Bigboys go.
Hawkeye: Aw, come on Gordon, you know damn well that no diesel will ever be as powerful as the Bigboy. It's the largest engine in the world, and powerful enough to pull a train five miles long.
Gordon: I don't care. It's still a steam engine, and it needs to be replaced.
Stylo: *Arrives* What's the matter now?
Hawkeye: Gordon thinks that all steam engines need to be scrapped.
Stylo: I kinda have to agree with him.
Hawkeye: What, why?
Stylo: Although diesels aren't as powerful as steam engines, they're faster, and more fuel efficent, but Gordon keeps being a dick about this whole situation, so that's why I'm thinking of sending him to work on the Norfoal & Western.
Gordon: Why that railroad?
Stylo: It's the only railroad in Equestria that doesn't have any diesels.
Gordon: Well, you're not sending me there, that's for sure.
Stylo: Oh yeah? Let's see what Pete has to say.
Pete: *Arrives* Did somepony say my name?
Stylo: I did. Gordon wants to go to the Norfoal & Western.
Pete: He does? Okay, I'll make the appropriate arrangements, and no matter what you say, you're still going.
Gordon: I hate you all.
Song: link
Gordon got on an airplane, and was sent to Norfoal Virginia to work on the N&W
Gordon: *Looking for sign that says L*
Pony: *Holding L sign*
Gordon: *Sees sign* Ah, good. I'm Gordon.
Pony: And I'm Franklin. Come with me, and we'll get you set for your first, and unfortunately, your only day with working for us.
Gordon: Alright.
They leave the airport, and get in a brand new Corvette.
Franklin: My car, you like it?
Gordon: Yeah. We had to deliver some of these cars a couple of days ago back on the UP.
Franklin: Nice. *Starts car, and drives to train station*
Gordon, and Franklin arrived at the train station.
Franklin: Sir?
Boss Stephenson: What do you want?
Franklin: Remember that pony Pete Reimer you were talking to on the phone?
Boss Stephenson: Yeah. Did he send that new pony to help us?
Franklin: He's right here with me.
Boss Stephenson: *Staring at Gordon* Why is he so fat?
Gordon: You're going to judge me by my looks? You're a great boss.
Boss Stephenson: Yeah, well you complain a lot.
Gordon: At least I don't judge ponies by their appearance.
Chinese Pony: *arrives* I just finished switching those freight cars sir.
Gordon: *Pointing at chinese pony* COMMUNIST!!
Boss Stephenson: Ignore him Hector, you did good.
Chinese Pony: Right. Thank you. *Leaves station*
Boss Stephenson: Now Gordon, I hear that you don't like steam locomotives. Now, I'm not going to ask why, but I think after you finish working here for only one day, your opinion will change.
Gordon: What if it doesn't?
Boss Stephenson: Well, let me put it this way. If you don't change your opinion on the Iron Horse, you'll never be able to leave here.
Gordon: You can't do that.
Boss Stephenson: Let me talk with your boss. *Grabs telephone*
Meanwhile in Cheyenne
Pete: *In office, and answers telephone* Hello, Union Pacific's Cheyenne Train Station, Pete Reimer speaking.
Boss Stephenson: Peter? Your faithful Gordon says that he won't change his opinion on the steam locomotive.
Pete: Well, you do whatever you can to make Gordon change his mind, no matter how long it takes.
Boss Stephenson: Did you hear that Gordon?
Gordon: Loud, and clear.
Boss Stephenson: Then, get to work.
Gordon: *Leaves station with Franklin*
Franklin: *Pointing at articulate steam engine* Isn't this thing a beauty?
Gordon: No.
Franklin: Do you at least know that it's a very powerful locomotive?
Gordon: Yes. Let's get this over with so that I can get back to Cheyenne.
Franklin: Okay. *Climbs in engine*
Gordon: *Climbs in engine*
Signal Pony: *Turns signal from red to green*
Gordon: *Blows whistle*
Franklin: *Shoveling coal into firebox*
Gordon: *Drives freight train*
Franklin: So far, so good.
Gordon: Yep. How come your railroad doesn't have any diesels?
Franklin: We deliver a lot of coal on our railroad, and much of it is brought here for our engines, so we decided to make sure none of those special black rocks went to waste.
Gordon: Seems like a good idea, but if you got diesels on here, you could give more coal to your customers.
Franklin: That is a good idea, but you'd have to talk to Boss Stephenson about that. He's really fond of these engines, and many other steam trains.
Gordon: Okay, I'll ask him, but I wanna get my job done first.
Gordon was doing well with driving the train.
Franklin: We'll be going up a hill soon.
Gordon: Oh please. This engine is powerful, it should get the entire train up by itself.
Franklin: But it doesn't. We tried having an empty freight like ours go up that hill once, but it still needed help. Coal is a very heavy thing to pull.
Gordon: I know. You should see the trains we have to deal with, some of them are so heavy, that we need two challengers to pull them.
Franklin: Double heading of very large locomotives just seems so interesting.
Gordon: I know. *Sees hill* Is this the hill you were talking about?
Franklin: Yeah.
Gordon: So we just stop, and let another engine get on the back to push?
Franklin: Yeah.
Gordon: Well, not this time. *Driving faster*
Franklin: Gordon? What are you doing?!
Gordon: Creating history. *Going up hill*
Frankin: I can't believe this.
Gordon: Believe it. I am getting this train up the hill without another engine pushing from behind. *Gets to top of hill* And no wheel slip too.
Franklin: That was impressive. For a pony that doesn't like steam trains, you know a lot about them.
Gordon: I have to, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive one.
Franklin: You know, Stephenson won't let you leave until you lose your dislike for steam trains.
Gordon: Well, I have an idea. Get somepony to take my place over here.
Franklin: *Sees station* I see a good spot.
Gordon: Good. *stops train*
Worker: What's going on?
Gordon: You're taking my spot. Get in there *Jumps out of engine*
Worker: Alright. *Gets in engine*
Gordon: *Goes to phone*
Worker: *Drives away*
Gordon: *Calling Boss Stephenson*
Boss Stephenson: *Hears phone ringing* Hello?
Gordon: It's Gordon. I learned my lesson, and I'm leaving your railroad.
Boss Stephenson: Where are you calling from?
Gordon: I'm in Roanoke right now.
Boss Stephenson: You finish your job, and I'll let you go back to Cheyenne.
Gordon: Yeah.. About that, the train is gone.
Boss Stephenson: What are you talking about?
Gordon: Somepony else took my place, and drove the train away.
Boss Stephenson: You should have made that call after you finished your job.
Gordon: I'm sorry, you never told me that.
Boss Stephenson: I knew you were fat, but I didn't know you were dumb.
Gordon: Judging me again, that's really great.
Boss Stephenson: Stay there, I'm coming to get you. *Hangs up*
Gordon: I can't let him get me. I have to get out of here somehow.
A passenger train arrives.
Conductor: All aboard for Norfoal!
Ponies: *Getting on train*
Gordon: Ah, what the heck? *Gets on train*
Meanwhile in Norfoal
Boss Stephenson: How do I get to Roanoke's train station from here?
Worker: You just stay on the main highway, and turn on exit 6.
Boss Stephenson: Thank you. *Flying above highway*
Worker: He just doesn't like to drive.
Back at Roanoke
Gordon: *Sitting in passenger car*
Conductor: All aboard!
Engineer: *Blows whistle twice*
Signal Pony: *Turns signal from red to green*
Engineer: *Drives train*
Gordon: *Sitting comfortably in chair*
Conductor: Ticket?
Passenger pony: *Gives Conductor ticket*
Conductor: *Checks ticket* Here you go. *returns ticket*
Passenger pony: Thank you.
Gordon: Oh no, I didn't buy a ticket.
Boss Stephenson: *Sees Gordon in train, then flies after it*
Conductor: Ticket please?
Gordon: *Carrying two hundred dollars* How about this instead?
Conductor: *Takes money, then grabs Gordon*
Gordon: What are you doing?
Conductor: No ticket, no ride. *Takes Gordon towards door*
Boss Stephenson: *Flying by door*
Gordon: You can't do this.
Conductor: Whatever you say. *Opens door, and kicks Gordon off train*
Boss Stephenson: *Sees Gordon on ground* Well, well well. You thought you could trick me, but it didn't work.
Gordon: (Wait a minute. Teleportation) Yep. You really outsmart me.
Boss Stephenson: Now you're going to do another job for me.
Gordon: *Charging horn*
Boss Stephenson: *Stands back* What, you gonna shoot me?
Gordon: *Teleports to Cheyenne*
Boss Stephenson: Great. He's gone.
In Cheyenne
Jeff: Oh, hello Gordon. Have you had a good time on the N&W?
Gordon: *Being sarcastic* Oh yeah, a swell time. One day, we have to go there together.
Jeff: *Walks away*
Pete: Well, I'm glad to see you're back. Boss Stephenson didn't tell me about you returning.
Gordon: He forgot.
Pete: Really?
Gordon: Yes, he really forgot!
Pete: Okay. I believe you.
Gordon: Good.
Pete: Oh, and one more thing, make sure you call me before leaving without permission.

On The Next Episode of Ponies On The Rails
A therapist visits the railroad.
This is Oddjob. He will appear later in this story
Robotnik: Snooping as usual I see! *Talks faster* Snooping as usual *Slows down* I see!
It was a normal day in Ponyville with the sun shining, and everypony was feeling happy.
Song: link
Rainbow Dash: *Flying in the air at high speed* Woo hoo!!! *Clearing lots of clouds in the sky as she flies*
One of Rainbow Dash's favorite things to do, besides flying, is clearing clouds. She loves to see a clear blue sky, with the sun shining brightly.
Rainbow Dash: *Kicks two more clouds* Perfect. The sky is the same shade of blue as me. Time for a break. *Flies down into the center of Ponyville,...
