Song: link

A party was taking place inside the Mossberg Harbor station. People were enjoying the Музыка as they danced with each other. S.B was one of those guys as he danced with Mercedes.

S.B: It's great that we can spend еще time together.
Mercedes: I agree.
S.B: Will it be okay with your mom if I visit Ты at your place on Friday?
Mercedes: When she finishes creating the schedules for her engines on the Eastwood & Mossberg, I'll ask.
S.B: Gotcha. I'm gonna take a little break, and grab a root beer.
Mercedes: Can I go with you?
S.B: Sure. I figured I'd also spend a few минуты on the station platform. Ты fine with that?
Mercedes: Yeah. Maybe we'll see one of Mr. Baldwin's engines.

The two of them grabbed their drinks, and went outside. They saw 12 red heavyweights waiting for an engine.

S.B: Who do Ты think's pulling this train?
Mercedes: Not sure. Obviously it can't be Sean since he pulls Amfleets.
S.B: Well sometimes he pulls these when double heading with Austin, или one of the other steam engines.
Mily: *Blows her whistle as she slowly moves towards the train*
Mercedes: Ah.
S.B: Should've known.
Mily: *Stops as she couples up to her train* Hi Ты two.
S.B: Эй, Mily.
Mercedes: Aren't Ты one of the engines that used to work on my mom's railroad?
Mily: You're mom's Ms. Scarlett?
S.B: Yeah. This is Mercedes.
Mily: Ah cool. Great to meet you.
S.B: I figured since I met Joey, you'd like to meet my girlfriend.
Mily: *Giggles* Fair enough. I'm really happy for Ты S.B.
Mercedes: Cheerful as always, huh Mily?
Mily: Just the way I like it.
Mercedes: Well I gotta take S.B home. See Ты later Mily.
Mily: Drive safely.

After they left the station, numerous passengers came out of the station to get on Mily's train. The song was turned off since the party just ended.

Mily: All aboard for Nova!
Passengers: Yaaaay!!
Mily: *Blows her whistle twice, rings her bell, and pulls her train out of Mossberg Harbor*

Mily: *Passes the roundhouse at 60 miles an hour*
Passengers: *Enjoying the view*

Episode 177: Railcar

Sean: *Blows his horn twice as he passes Mily in the opposite direction*
Mily: *Cheerfully blows her whistle twice, then watches the seven Amfleets behind Sean*

Mercedes: *Stops at a railroad crossing, and watches several freight cars go through the crossing* Looks like I'll be here a while.
Mily: *Blows her whistle four times, and speeds through the crossing*
Mercedes: There she is again.
Passenger 43: We're almost at Nova.
Passenger 67: Just gotta get over the hill, and we're home.

Mily made her way to the hill, but as she started climbing, the journey started to get tough.

Mily: *Wheelslips, and decreases speed to 50* Whoa!! I can't let that happen again. *Wheelslips* Ah!! AHH!!!!
Passenger 66: Wait! We're slowing down!
Passenger 52: Should we panic?
Passenger 66: Wait for it.
Mily: *Blushes as she continues to slip* Mhh!! Uh!!!
Passenger 66: We're under 20!!!
Passenger 52: Now do we panic?!!!?
Passenger 66:............YEEEEES!!!!!

And just like that, the passengers started running around, and losing their mind. Meanwhile, Mily was still slipping, and couldn't get her wheels to slow down.

Mily: Mmm!! Why can't I stop my wheels from slipping?! Ah!!!

The song stops as Mily breaks down. Her wheels finally stop slipping, but she and her train roll back to the bottom of the hill.

Mily: *Embarrassed as she blushes*
Passengers: *Running out of the cars*
Conductor: Everyone, please relax! Help is already on the way!!
Passengers: *Staring at the conductor with blank expressions* Huh?
Conductor: I called our controller, Mr. Baldwin. He says that someone is already coming here to help Ты get home.
Passengers: really?
Conductor: Yes. Please get back on board, and wait for further instructions.

Everyone got back on board while the conductor went to check on Mily. She was still blushing as her face remained red.

Conductor: Are Ты alright?
Mily: I'd feel a lot better if I didn't break down.
Conductor: I bet, but thankfully Mr. Baldwin already sent someone to help out.

Sure enough, they heard the sound of another train. However, it looked like a passenger car moving by itself.

Conductor: This car looks fancy.
Samson: Oh you've noticed. Well, I am British after all. Posh luxury, and that sort of thing. *Looks at Mily* I say. No wonder Ты got stuck. A pacific isn't strong enough to Переместить a long train like this up a steep gradient such as this.
Mily: I have before. Rails must be wet или something.
Samson: Not to worry. I shall take 2 of your coaches, and make your consist lighter. Meanwhile I took the liberty of bringing over a few mechanics to fix you.

Song: link

While the mechanics started repairing Mily, Samson took three coaches off of Mily's train. He placed them in a different spot so he could couple on from the front, and pull them to Nova. The 3rd coach would be left behind since the passengers were already on board inside him.

Samson: *Pulls two coaches as he passes Mily*
Passengers: *Enjoying the seats inside Samson* This is relaxing.
Samson: Ah, compliments. Just what I like to hear. *Goes up the hill* And there will be еще when we reach Nova. *Groaning* If we reach Nova.
Passenger 46: Hey, what's wrong?
Passenger 99: He's having a hard time pulling the two coaches behind him.

Samson's wheels started to slip.

Samson: Ah!! Almost to the top! *Pours sand as he continues up the hill*

He made it to the top, but his engine stalled.

Samson: Oh bugger. There's a first. *Attempts to restart his engine*
Passenger 22: His engine won't start. Should we panic again?!
Passenger 30: Not unless it takes еще than three tries.
Samson: *Restarting his engine on a 2nd try* Come on, come on!! *Here's his engine start up* Finally. On to the other side. *Goes down the холм, хилл to Nova*

He passed Delta Station, and saw Bri with three coaches.

Samson: *Whistles* You're pretty.
Bri: Oh. *Blushes* Thanks.

Devon was also stopped when Samson arrived at Nova.

Devon: *Sees Samson stop Далее to him* Who are you?
Samson: A new employee on your railroad. My name is Samson.
Devon: Pleased to meet you.
Samson: Likewise.
Devon: I'll see Ты later after I finish my work.
Conductor: All aboard!
Devon: *Blows his horn twice, and rings his bell* Bye Samson. *Leaves the station*
Samson: Bye for now.

The two coaches were left in a siding after all the passengers got out. Samson then ran backwards to return to Mily.

Samson: Good thing I have no passengers on board this time. That холм, хилл was a monster to climb.
Mechanics: *Looking over еще parts of Mily* One еще adjustment, and Ты should be ready to go soon.
Mily: Okay. Thank you.
Samson: *Coasting down the холм, хилл towards Mily*
Mily: He's back.
Samson: *Stops Далее to Mily* And Далее time, make sure Ты finish your work instead of being a weakling that gets stuck on hills.
Mily: *Slightly angry* I am grateful for your help, but I don't like your attitude.
Mechanic: All fixed Mily. Take care.
Mily: Ты too.

Mily watched the mechanics get back on Samson. As he left, the blue pacific restarted her journey.

Passenger 66: Well here we go again.
Passenger 52: We better make it up this time.
Conductor: We'll find out soon.

Although she went up the холм, хилл at a slower speed of 30 miles an hour, Mily was able to maintain her speed with the lighter load.

Mily: *Wheelslips* Ah!! I thought we'd be done with that.
Passengers: *Sweating as they feel the train slowing down*
Conductor: Come on Mily, don't let us down.
Passenger 43: But what if we make it to the top? Then, can she let us down?
Conductor: Good point. Let us down to Nova.

There was five еще секунды of wheelslip, but Mily reached the top, and went down the other side to get her passengers to Nova.

Mily: *Blushes* Wooh! I didn't think I was gonna make it.
Passenger 43: Ты know? I wish I could have gone on that railcar. He looked cool.
Passenger 86: And sleek.
Passenger 74: And modern.
Conductor: *Sweating* Good thing Mily can't hear any of this.

There would be something worse for her to listen to however. Mr. Baldwin was waiting for her at Nova Station.

Mr. Baldwin: What happened between you, and Samson?
Mily: Pardon?
Mr. Baldwin: Samson сказал(-а) Ты were very rude to him while he was trying to help you.
Mily: What the hell? That liar was the one being rude! Not me!
Mr. Baldwin: Alright, cool it! I'll speak to him tomorrow.

Далее morning, Samson was told to wait in the roundhouse while everyone else was working.

Mr. Baldwin: Ты know something that's very important to me Samson?
Samson: Money? Because I can assure Ты that I've gained a lot delivering passengers around your line.
Mr. Baldwin: I appreciate your hard work. While money is a necessity to keep our railroad operating, there are a couple of things I find еще important than that. Ты wanna know what one of them is?
Samson: Modernization?
Mr. Baldwin: Honesty.
Samson: What?
Mr. Baldwin: Honesty is what really matters to me. If engines, или employees create lies about each other, it can create a negative work environment, and decrease morale. Is that really what Ты want?
Samson: I haven't lied about anything at all.
Mr. Baldwin: That's not what Mily сказал(-а) to me. After I told her about your story where she insulted you, she got angry. That's not her usual behavior. Mily's a cheerful, hard working engine that's always polite to everyone.
Samson: Well I mean...You try being polite after breaking down. I promise you, she was not cheerful with me at all.
Mr. Baldwin: Ты try being cheerful after being called a weakling. I promise you, I will not tolerate anymore lies.
Samson: Uh, crystal clear sir. I'll just get back to work. *Leaves the roundhouse*

Meanwhile, Mily had to pull another non-stop train from Mossberg Harbor to Nova Station. This time, she had ten red heavyweights.

Tabby: *Stops Далее to Mily with her 3 car train* Uh, Mily? Ты don't look to happy.
Mily: Huh? *Looks at Tabby* Oh, sorry. Just thinking.
Tabby: About?
Mily: Something that happened yesterday. A new railcar that joined our railroad called me weak after helping me with my passengers.
Tabby: ooh.
Mily: Then he lied to Mr. Baldwin, and сказал(-а) that I insulted him.
Tabby: Really?
Mily: Really. If Ты ever see this new railcar. Be careful around him.
Tabby: What does he look like for curiosities sake?
Mily: Maroon, and white. He's some type of car that used to work in the U.K.
Tabby: I think Bri was telling me about him yesterday. Her Описание was quite the opposite when she saw him at Delta yesterday.
Mily: I just hope Mr. Baldwin gets things straightened out. If anyone else falls for his crap, I'm really going to lose my marbles.
Passenger 21: *Drops a jar of marbles, and watches them go under part of the station building* No!! I Остаться в живых my marbles!
Tabby: *Chuckles*
Mily: Glad we're getting some comedy back into this show.

Song: link

Conductor: All aboard!
Mily: *Blows her whistle twice, and pulls her 10 car train out of the station*
Tabby: And now, to wait for my all aboard to go to Santa Cruz.

Now we return to Samson. He made a station stop at Delta, and was on his way to Nova.

Samson: *Closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath* Aaaaah. The Americans really knew what they were doing when they built this island. I Любовь it here.
Passengers: So do we.
Samson: Do Ты also Любовь it inside with my comfortable seating?
Passengers: Yes.
Samson: Mmmmh, well. I'll tell my controller, and hopefully he'll order еще cars like me. Who knows? His entire passenger fleet could be made up of cars like me. Hahahaha!
Conductor: All aboard!
Samson: Here we go. *Leaves Delta Station*

Every сиденье, место, сиденья in Samson was occupied with passengers. The diesel railcar was very pleased with himself as he travelled down the line. Suddenly, he began to feel nervous as he saw the холм, хилл again.

Samson: Oh. It's this thing. I really need to do еще research on this mainline, I could have sworn the холм, хилл was on the loop line to Belette, and Tracy.
Conductor: We're doing 50. Just keep going until Ты hit the top, then take a break, and let gravity do the rest.
Samson: That's a good way to describe it. *Starts to go up* Might be easier сказал(-а) than done though. *Grunts*
Passenger 51: Uhh...Samson?
Samson: *Slowing down* Yes?
Passenger 51: Is something wrong?
Samson: *Straining as he speaks quietly* maybe.
Conductor: We're almost there.
Samson: Yes I know, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...

The climb was too much. Samson's engine overheated, and broke down.

Passengers: Ohh!!
Conductor: Come on, come on, come on!!
Samson: Yes! Almost there.

Samsom made it to the top, but it wasn't quite enough to get him over. He started going backwards.

Samson: And we're returning to Mirage.
Conductor: *Applies the brakes*
Passengers: *Look behind them*
Samson: Nothing to fear, ladies and gentlemen, we'll just simply wait at the station, and try again.

Samson safely came to a stop back at Delta Station. Much to his annoyance, the station master warned all the engines that Samson was stuck at the station.

Samson: Ты know? I'd rather be hidden in a siding, instead of having engines pass me, and notice me in a state of failure.
Conductor: There's nothing to worry about Samson. The only engine passing through is Mily, and she's agreed to help you.
Samson: Oh this is embarrassing.

Sure enough, Mily arrived in a few minutes. She came to a stop behind Samson.

Mily: Well well. Looks like the weakling gets to help the "ever so perfect" railcar.
Samson: I-I-I'm sorry. Please, just get this over with.
Mily: Fine. Just promise not to lie about me to Mr. Baldwin ever again.
Samson: I promise! I'll be good from now on!
Mily: That's what I like to hear.

Song: link

The blue steam engine gently got behind Samson, and started pushing him. She was still pulling her 10 passenger cars during the rescue mission.

Samson: Can Ты pull those coaches while pushing me?
Mily: I think I can.
Samson: Well we're not. Going very fast, but I believe you.

Samson was really panicking as he returned to the hill. Mily knew the climb would be difficult, but she also knew she'd make it up.

Samson: H-h-how fast are we going?
Mily: 30.
Samson: Uh....Can Ты go faster?
Mily: I'm not gonna risk getting wheelslip.
Samson: Ты probably will if we don't go faster.
Mily: Probably, but it'll be...*Wheelslips for 2 seconds*....easier to control.
Samson: I.....think I see your point?
Mily: And I, think I can.
Samson: What is it with blue steam engines saying that catch phrase?
Mily: *Wheelslips for 2 seconds, then decreases to 24 MPH* We're almost there Samson.
Samson: Ah yes, I see.

He coasted down the other side to make the climb for Mily easier with her coaches.

Mily: *Follows Samson with her train* Ha. I'm here to help, and you're making my journey easier for me by moving down the холм, хилл by yourself.
Samson: My brakes still work. Just figured I'd go down by myself after Ты helped me go up.
Mily: Fair enough. Ты gotta get your passengers to the station after all.

Mily stopped Далее to Samson, and they both watched their passengers walk around the station after getting off the coaches.

Passenger 51: Samson may have better seats, but you're a hard worker. Thanks for helping us.
Mily: *Winks* Think nothing of it. Just happy to be of service.
Samson: Uh..Mily?
Mily: Yeah?
Samson: Let's be Друзья from now on. I'm sorry for being rude to you, and I hope you'll forgive me.
Mily: Apology accepted.
