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 anda 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 menit long. When it ended, everypony went to work.

Gordon: What kind of jobs do anda have?
Hawkeye: We're going east to clear the line.
Gordon: Hopefully anda 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: anda 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, atau sixty years.
Percy: atau maybe sooner than that. anda 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 anda 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 anda doing? The signal was still red!
Gordon: Do anda remember what it berkata 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 bukit, 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 berkata we would get twelve feet of snow.
Stylo: Yeah, but this looks like lebih then twelve feet.
Hawkeye: *Checks fuel gauge* Okay, I'll tell anda 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, anda have to sit on the puncak, atas of the train all the way to wherever we have to go. If it's over twelve feet, I'll let anda drive the train.
Stylo: What do anda have to do?
Hawkeye: While you're driving the train, I have to...
Stylo: Clean my car.
Hawkeye: anda 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 puncak, atas of train*
Hawkeye: *Standing in snow*
Stylo: *Pouring water into locomotive*
Hawkeye: Ha, the snow is lower than the engine. anda have to sit on puncak, atas of the train for the whole journey.
Stylo: We never shook on it.
Hawkeye: Aw, fine. I wouldn't want anda to get frostbite anyway. Get back in the engine, and I'll pour in the coal.
Stylo: Thank anda good sir.

Gordon continued driving past red signals. He got past the last one, and they started climbing Sherman Hill.

Wilson: No lebih signals. We're gonna make it.
Gordon: Yes we are. Let's just get some lebih 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 anda 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 anda this, but we're stuck.
Gordon: Aw man. *Hits head on chair* Hold up, I just got an idea. *Going outside*
Wilson: Where are anda 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 anda do in Korea?
Wilson: Killed ponies. Now it's time for anda to shut up, and leave me alone. anda berkata 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 berkata 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 anda 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 bukit, hill

Pete: *Stops train near Gordon* Where's your engine?
Gordon: It's gone.
Pete: What do anda 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 anda 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 anda getting stuck in the snow?
Gordon: Fuck you.
Stylo: I thought it wouldn't happen to you.
Gordon: Go kill yourself.
Hawkeye: Are anda going to stay embarrased for long?
Gordon: anda know what? If I could meninju, pukulan anda 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 oleh 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, anda 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 lebih 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 anda say, you're still going.
Gordon: I hate anda 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 anda set for your first, and unfortunately, your only hari with working for us.
Gordon: Alright.

They leave the airport, and get in a brand new Corvette.

Franklin: My car, anda like it?
Gordon: Yeah. We had to deliver some of these cars a couple of days yang lalu 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 anda want?
Franklin: Remember that pony Pete Reimer anda 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 oleh my looks? You're a great boss.
Boss Stephenson: Yeah, well anda complain a lot.
Gordon: At least I don't judge ponies oleh their appearance.
Chinese Pony: *arrives* I just finished switching those freight cars sir.
Gordon: *Pointing at chinese pony* COMMUNIST!!
Boss Stephenson: Ignore him Hector, anda did good.
Chinese Pony: Right. Thank you. *Leaves station*
Boss Stephenson: Now Gordon, I hear that anda don't like steam locomotives. Now, I'm not going to ask why, but I think after anda 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 anda don't change your opinion on the Iron Horse, you'll never be able to leave here.
Gordon: anda can't do that.
Boss Stephenson: Let me talk with your boss. *Grabs telephone*

Meanwhile in Cheyenne

Pete: *In office, and jawaban 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, anda do whatever anda can to make Gordon change his mind, no matter how long it takes.
Boss Stephenson: Did anda 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 anda 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 anda got diesels on here, anda could give lebih 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 bukit, hill soon.
Gordon: Oh please. This engine is powerful, it should get the entire train up oleh itself.
Franklin: But it doesn't. We tried having an empty freight like ours go up that bukit, hill once, but it still needed help. Coal is a very heavy thing to pull.
Gordon: I know. anda 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 bukit, hill anda 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 anda doing?!
Gordon: Creating history. *Going up hill*
Frankin: I can't believe this.
Gordon: Believe it. I am getting this train up the bukit, hill without another engine pushing from behind. *Gets to puncak, atas of hill* And no wheel slip too.
Franklin: That was impressive. For a pony that doesn't like steam trains, anda know a lot about them.
Gordon: I have to, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive one.
Franklin: anda know, Stephenson won't let anda leave until anda 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 anda calling from?
Gordon: I'm in Roanoke right now.
Boss Stephenson: anda finish your job, and I'll let anda go back to Cheyenne.
Gordon: Yeah.. About that, the train is gone.
Boss Stephenson: What are anda talking about?
Gordon: Somepony else took my place, and drove the train away.
Boss Stephenson: anda should have made that call after anda finished your job.
Gordon: I'm sorry, anda never told me that.
Boss Stephenson: I knew anda were fat, but I didn't know anda 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: anda 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 anda 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 anda doing?
Conductor: No ticket, no ride. *Takes Gordon towards door*
Boss Stephenson: *Flying oleh door*
Gordon: anda can't do this.
Conductor: Whatever anda say. *Opens door, and kicks Gordon off train*
Boss Stephenson: *Sees Gordon on ground* Well, well well. anda thought anda could trick me, but it didn't work.
Gordon: (Wait a minute. Teleportation) Yep. anda really outsmart me.
Boss Stephenson: Now you're going to do another job for me.
Gordon: *Charging horn*
Boss Stephenson: *Stands back* What, anda gonna shoot me?
Gordon: *Teleports to Cheyenne*
Boss Stephenson: Great. He's gone.

In Cheyenne

Jeff: Oh, hello Gordon. Have anda 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 anda returning.
Gordon: He forgot.
Pete: Really?
Gordon: Yes, he really forgot!
Pete: Okay. I believe you.
Gordon: Good.
Pete: Oh, and one lebih thing, make sure anda call me before leaving without permission.
