Quote 1

 * Ringo: Timmy is a tank engine who lives at a big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. He also has a rather big tooth.
 * Timmy: Hey!
 * (Timmy pulls into the station with coaches where Ed could be seen)
 * Ringo: He's a fussy little engine too. Always pulling coaches about ready for the big engines to take on long journeys. (Ed pulls out with a train) And when trains come in, (in unison, Timmy pulls backwards into the station with coaches) he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go and rest. Timmy thinks no engine works as hard as he does. (in unison, Ed and Eddy puff by with trains) He loves playing tricks on them (in unison, Timmy puffed by pushing a freight car) including Homer, the biggest and proudest engine of all. (in unison, a shot of Homer looking proud and important was shown). Timmy likes to tease Homer with his whistle. (in unison, a shot of Timmy's whistle was shown blowing steam and making Thomas' whistle sound)
 * Timmy: Wake up, ya' lazy bum! Why don't you work hard and get some exercise like me!?

Quote 2

 * Ringo: It was nearly time for the express, people were waiting but the coaches weren't ready.
 * *scene cuts to Timmy puffing out of his shed*
 * Ringo: At last Timmy started.
 * Timmy (in a tired, moaning way): *moans* Bubbles, I want to back to sleep, why did you light my fire? *moans*
 * Bubbles: We need to work, Timmykins.
 * Ringo: said Bubbles. Timmy fussed into the station where Homer was waiting.
 * Homer: Where were you boy?! Get my coaches ready, twerp!
 * Timmy: Aaaah, SHADDUP!!!!
 * Ringo: Timmy said rudely. Bubbles was horrified.
 * Bubbles: *loud horrified gasp* Timmykins, behave yourself!
 * Timmy: *groans* Sorry, Bubbles.
 * Ringo: groaned Timmy. Homer began making his plan to teach Timmy a lesson for teasing him, almost before the coaches had stopped moving, *Homer backs onto his train* Homer reversed quickly and was coupled to the train.
 * Homer: C'mon, c'mon! Get in, I gotta go! *blows his whistle*
 * Ringo: he whistled.

Quotes

 * Ringo: But Lisa felt sorry for Edd.
 * Lisa: You poor, poor engine. Would you like to come out today?
 * Edd: Oh, yes! Bless you, Lisa!
 * Ringo: Said Edd. So they lit his fire, made lots of steam and Edd puffed away.
 * (Edd leaves the shed)
 * Ringo: The other engines were very cross about being left behind.

Quote 2

 * Ringo: Edd played till there were no more freight cars, then he stopped to rest. Presently, he heard a whistle. *Homer blows his whistle* Homer was very cross. Instead of nice shining coaches, he was pulling a very dirty freight train.
 * Homer: *loud groan* Why do I have to do all the dirty work?! It's wrong! SO WRONG! Why did Mr. Cena give me this dirty work?!
 * Ringo: He grumbled.
 * Homer: Or maybe I could be something like a donut delivery train. Mmmm...donuts.... *drools*
 * Ringo: Edd laughed and went to find some more freight cars. Then there was trouble.
 * Stationmaster: Homer can't get help the hill! Can you go take Edd and push him please?
 * Edd: Right-O!
 * Ringo: They found Homer halfway up and very cross. Marge spoke to him SEVERELY.

 * Homer: It's no use, Marge!
 * Ringo: said Homer.

 * John Cena: We're gonna pull ya out if you're gonna keep acting this way, Ed. I'm not joking with you, Monobrow.
 * Ringo: But Ed only blew steam at him. *Ed hisses steam at Cena*

Quote 3

 * *Timmy couples up to Ed*
 * Ringo: Timmy pushed and puffed, and puffed as hard as ever he could. But Ed stayed in tunnel.
 * Timmy: C'mon, Lumpy! MOVE!!!! *grunts and groans*
 * Ed: NO!!!! *grunts*
 * Timmy: *groans and pants* The passengers are gonna give bad reviews to their friends about the railway! *stops* (in a tired way) You need to stop this nonsense, Monobrow.... *pants*
 * Ringo: Eventually, even John Cena gave up.
 * John Cena: Usually I never give up (referring to the WWE), but sadly I have to give up here because you are acting as stubborn as a mule. As your punishment we're gonna remove your rails and leave you here until you learn to cope the best you can with the rain.
 * Ringo: So they took up the old rails and built a brick wall in front of Ed so that the other engines wouldn't bump into him.

 * Eddy: Sweet!
 * John: And Timmy, you'll get a branchline of your very own to run.
 * Timmy: Aw, sweet! Thanks so much!
 * Ringo: Whistled Timmy. Now Timmy is as happy as can be. He has a branchline and two coaches called Cosmo and Wanda. He puffs proudly backwards and forwards with them all day.
 * Cosmo: Wheeee! Faster!
 * Wanda: I'm train-sick.
 * Ringo: He is never lonely. Edd and Ed stop by often and tell him the news.
 * Ed: Hey, have you seen "Attack of the Zombie brain munchers?"

 * John Cena: *hugs Bubbles to sooth her*
 * John Cena: Awwww... I know it ain't your fault. People make mistakes.
 * Timmy: I can't believe Eddy was right for once and I didn't heed what he said. *painful groan*
 * John Cena: Just calm down, Timmy. We'll fish them out for you. Fish don't suit you and me and the Professor must get them out before you get any worse.
 * Bubbles: Can I help you guys fish them out of my poor Timmypie?
 * John Cena: Of course, Bubbles. Somehow, I'm holding an extra rod but you can have it if you like.
 * Bubbles: Yay!
 * Ringo: So Bubbles, John Cena, and the Professor took turns fishing in Timmy's tank, while John and the Professor were teaching Bubbles how to do it. The Professor and John even held Bubbles to catch her fall if she fell.

 * John Cena: Don't you worry, Bubbles. We're having a picnic supper later to satisfy ourselves. Climb down quickly and I'll take that fish of the hook for you. *Bubbles climbs down and he takes fish of her hook and throws it into a pail next to the ladder.
 * Ringo: When they've caught all the fish, they had a lovely picnic supper of Fish N' Chips.
 * Bubbles (after she took her last bite of fish): Oh my, I feel sorry for eating the cute little fish, but from now on, I'll never eat fish again.... well, for a while at least--*belches* excuse me. *giggles*
 * Ringo: giggled Bubbles, and climbed aboard Timmy.
 * John Cena (after he ate): Mmmm... that was a great meal.
 * Ringo: said John Cena.
 * John Cena: But fish don't suit you, Timmy. So next time, use another water tower if one's out of order.

 * (Timmy sniffles as tears rolled down his cheeks.)
 * (Bubbles does the same in unison.)

 * Timmy: Snow sure doesn't worry or stop that brainiac.
 * Ringo: He pulled the empty coaches away,
 * Wanda (in unison): Thank you so much, Martin!
 * Cosmo (in unison): Bye, Timmy!
 * Ringo: Then went back for Timmy. Timmy's wheels were clear, but still spun when he tried to move. Martin tugged and slipped and slipped and tugged. And at last, dragged Timmy clear of the snow ready for the journey home.

Quote 1

 * Ringo: Timmy chuckled and went off with Cosmo and Wanda.
 * Wanda (while leaving with Timmy): Geez, what a big blue jerk!
 * Homer: *loud groan* THIS IS JUST WRONG!!!!
 * Ringo: hissed Homer as he ran backwards to the turntable.

 * Homer (Timmy leaves station in unison): Watch yourself, shrimp! You never know if you'll stick!
 * Eddy: Who cares?
 * Ringo: chuckled Eddy.
 * Eddy: I ain't fat like you, Homeboy! I'll stick to that table like a quarter stuck to a sidewalk (referring to "One Of Those Eds").

 * Ringo: laughed Homer
 * Homer: What are you up to little Eddy? Playing carousel?

Quotes

 * John: Ed, come on! Your coaches are waiting for you!
 * Homer: Wait a minute, buddy. Ed isn't going anywhere.
 * Ringo: Said Homer.
 * Ed: Where was I going?
 * Homer: We aren't gonna shunt like puny little engines. That was Timmy's job! We're important and demand more respect! So, YOU find our coaches and WE'LL gladly pull them. Tender trains don't do any shunting!
 * Eddy: Yeah! What he said!
 * John: We'll see about that.
 * Ringo: Said John Cena.
 * John: There isn't an engine on my railway who's too important for small tasks!
 * Ringo: And he hurried away to find Edd.
 * John: *sigh* It just hasn't been the same ever since Timmy left the yard to run his branchline.
 * Ringo: He thought sadly. Edd was shunting.
 * John: Edd, leave those cars please!
 * Ringo: Said John Cena.
 * John: I want you to shunt coaches for me in the yard!
 * Edd: Why, thank you, Mr. Cena. I like a nice change of work.
 * John: I knew I could count on you, Edd. Hurry off now.
 * Ringo: So Edd found coaches for the three engines and that day the trains ran as usual. But next morning, Edd looked unhappy. Homer came clanking past, hissing rudely.
 * John: AAUGH!
 * Ringo: exclaimed John Cena.
 * John: That was an unpleasant and unnecessarily loud noise!
 * Edd: They've been blowing steam at me, Mr. Cena.
 * Ringo: Answered Edd.
 * Edd: They claim tender locomotives don't shunt and last night, they repeatedly called me "Sockhead." My hat's no sock!
 * John: You're absolutely right, Edd. It's a very nice hat, I'm proud of your hard work and tender engines DO shunt. Still, more help is needed around the yard. Another tank engine at that.
 * Ringo: He went to a workshop and they showed him all sorts of engines. At last he saw a smart little red engine with spiky hair.
 * John: You! If I choose you, do you promise to work hard?
 * Bart: Work? But that's no fun.
 * John: If that's gonna be your attitude, maybe I'll pick that Muntz engine I saw before you. He'll probably do a better job than you ever could.
 * Bart: Wait! I'll work hard! I'll work hard!
 * John: That's better. Now, what's your name?
 * Bart: I'm Bart Simpson.
 * John: Great to meet you. Can you give me a lift?
 * Bart: You got it!
 * Ringo: And John Cena brought Bart back to the yard.
 * John: Edd,
 * Ringo: He called.
 * John: This is Bart. Would you mind showing him around?
 * Ringo: Bart soon saw what he had to do. And they had a happy afternoon.

Quote 3

 * Ringo: Next day, Timmy arrived.
 * Timmy: John Cena wanted me. I'm guessing he needs help.
 * Ringo: He said to Edd.
 * Edd: Hush. He's approaching us.
 * Ringo: Replied Edd.
 * John: Good job Timmy. You were very fast. Now, here's the situation. Homer, Eddy and Ed are complaining in the sheds and refuse to do any little engines' work. So they're being restrained from leaving the sheds as ordered by me. And I want Timmy and Edd to run the mainline for a while.
 * Timmy: Little?! Well, is that so?!
 * Ringo: Whistled Timmy.
 * Timmy: We'll show them who's little!
 * John: Bart will also help as well.
 * Bart (un-amused): Oh, great...
 * Ringo: Answered Bart.
 * John: Do I need to remind you again of...?
 * Bart: I mean, All right!
 * Ringo: Edd and Timmy worked the mainline, greeting each other as they passed by. Bart worked the branchline. Timmy was anxious about Cosmo and Wanda, but both Bart's driver, Kevin and conductor promised to take care of them. There were fewer trains. But the passengers didn't mind. They knew the three other engines were having a lesson. Homer, Eddy and Ed were cold lonely and miserable. They wish now they hadn't been so silly.
 * Homer: I can't believe this.
 * Eddy: This stinks.
 * Ed: *sobs* It is not fair.

 * Eddy: Ah, That's a load of baloney, Monobrow! You're as lazy as a bum!

Quotes

 * Ringo: One winter evening, Sid said...
 * Sid: We'll be out early tomorrow. We've got to take the Flying Kipper. Don't tell Homer, but I think if we pull the kipper nicely. John will let us pull the express. The special coal they gave you is working well.

 * (Ed crashes into the train.)
 * (Then Ed derailed.)
 * Ed: I'm ok.
 * Ringo: Sid jumped clear before the crash. But Ed laid dazed and surprised.
 * Ed(weary): It's a long ball, coach!
 * Ringo: John Cena came to see him.
 * Ed: It wasn't my fault, Mr. Fruity Pebble! The evil signal did it!
 * John: Don't worry, Ed. The accident wasn't your fault. It was ice and snow that caused it. I'll be sending you to crew today. They'll give you a new shape along with a larger firebox. You'll feel like a whole new engine and the best part is you won't need any special coal anymore. What do you think of that?
 * Ed: I forget...?
 * John: *chuckles* You'll know soon enough.
 * Ringo: Ed liked being at crew, but was glad to come home.
 * Ed: Toot-toot!
 * Ringo: A crowd of people waited to see him arrive in his new shape. He looked so splendid and strong that they gave him three cheers.
 * Ed: Choo-choo! Thank you very much!
 * Ringo: I am sorry to say that a lot of little children are often late for school because they wait to see Ed arrive in his new shape. They often see him pulling the express and he does it so well that Homer is jealous.

 * Ed (in unison): *laughing*
 * Ringo: But that's another story.

Quotes

 * Ringo: He grumbled.
 * Homer: I'm the important engine here! He goes off laughing his back buffers off to the repairs and comes back saying the stupidest things! IT MAKES ME SICK! And another thing, Ed whistles too much. No engine as respectable as me ever whistles that much or loud at stations. It's no crime, but we just don't do that!
 * Ringo: Poor Ed didn't feel happy anymore.
 * Bart: Forget him.
 * Ringo: Whispered Bart.
 * Bart: It's great to have you home again. I like your whistling.

 * Ringo: Said Ed.
 * (Whistling heard in the distance)
 * Ed: Shush! Something wicked this way comes.
 * Edd: Why, it sounds like Homer.
 * Ringo: Said Edd.
 * Edd: And it certainly should be Homer, but I've never heard Homer whistle like that.
 * Ringo: It was Homer. He came rushing down the hill at a tremendous rate. He didn't look at Ed and he didn't look at Edd. He screamed straight through the station and disappeared.
 * Edd: Well, I'll be.
 * Ringo: Said Edd.
 * Ed: It is no crime,
 * Ringo: chuckled Ed.
 * Ed: But we just do not...um...GRAVY! *laughs*

 * Sid: You all can keep a secret, right?
 * Passengers: Yes, yes!
 * Sid: All right, when we next cross this bridge, Ed, here will sneeze at those punk kids.
 * Ed (snickering): Oooo, hoo hoo hoo.
 * Ringo: Lots of people were waiting at the station. They wanted to see what would happen.
 * Sid: All right, everyone. Ed has plenty of ashes. So keep all your windows shut until after we've passed the bridge. I bet Ed's the most excited of all of us. Aren't ya, Ed?
 * Ringo: Ed was feeling more stuffed up than excited.
 * Ed (in unison): I feel funny.
 * Ringo: Soon they could see the boys and they all had stones.
 * Ace: Here they come, guys. Get ready.
 * Sid: All right, Ed. When I say now, sneeze like you've never sneezed before! NOW!

 * George: He moved slowly onto the bridge, but the cow wouldn't shoo. She had lost her brother and felt lonely.
 * Cow: (cries and then moos sadly as she did in "Cow and Chicken") I don't know where I am!
 * George: She said sadly. Everyone tried to send her away, but she wouldn't go.
 * Cow: Oh, why did that mean Fuzzy Lumpkins throw me off that pink-hatted train's coaches?! Chicken! Where are you?!
 * George: Ed arrived. (Cow cries in unison)
 * Homer: Hee, hee, hee. Ed'll get rid of her. Ed! A mutant cow's on the track! Save us!

 * Chicken [voice only] (as they passed Ed): Great. My parents would have killed me.
 * George: At the bridge, Cow was very pleased to see her brother again (scene shows Cow hugging Chicken tightly causing Chicken to choke) and the porter led them away.

 * Chicken: Yeah, yeah, come on!
 * Bart (while watching in unison): [laughs]
 * Ed: Shush! SHUSH!
 * Homer: Nobody tells anybody!
 * George: Whispered Homer and Ed to each other. But the story soon spread.

 * Homer: Afraid?! PFFT! Yeah right!
 * George: Said Homer.
 * Homer: We got rid of that cow piece of cake!
 * Ed: Cake?!
 * Homer: We only stopped because...our...water tanks were low. You got that, little Edd?!

 * George: Homer thought he was late.
 * Homer (in unison): What the-?!

 * Eddy: I'M GONNA BE RICH! About time Cena saw things my way. He wants me to be the most important train in the world.
 * (Bart exits the scene)
 * George: Nazz could not make him move. The other engines grumbled dreadfully. They had to do Eddy's work as well as his own. At last the inspector arrived.
 * Inspector: Show a wheel, Eddy. You can't stay here all day!
 * Eddy: Cry me a river. Cena told me to stay here. Brat said he said so himself.
 * Inspector: He did not. How could he? He's away for a week!
 * Eddy: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! GRRRR...! WHERE IS THAT TWO-TIMING SQUIRT?! (leaves shed)

 * (Spongebob rolls backwards and stops)

 * John Cena: Good. So Spongebob your name shall be.
 * (Bart enters the scene and Timmy cameos pulling red coaches and blew his whistle)
 * John Cena: Here, Bart. Show Spongebob around.
 * George: The two engines went off together. Soon they were very busy. Eddy, Homer and Ed watched Spongebob quietly doing his work.

 * Spongebob: We need a plan,
 * George: Said Spongebob
 * Spongebob: And I think I've got it!

 * Eddy: Get outta the way! Make room!
 * (Homer, Ed and Eddy blow their whistles growling angrily at Bart and Spongebob blocking their way to the sheds.)

 * (The 3 blow their whistles shouting angrily.)
 * John: Cool your jets! And stop all that noise!
 * George: Bellowed John Cena.
 * Homer: The boy and the sponge won't move!
 * George: Hissed Homer.
 * John: Spongebob, how do you explain this type of behavior?
 * Spongebob: Understand, Mr. Cena. I'm from a Great Western railway. We always do whatever work we're assigned. But, please understand, Mr. Cena. Bart and I would appreciate if you would tell these three that we only take your orders and not theirs.
 * (Eddy blows his whistle followed by Homer blowing his whistle)
 * John: Cool it!
 * George: Said John Cena.
 * John: Bart, Spongebob, I'm proud of your hard work today, but your behavior tonight is unacceptable. You've created a big scene!
 * George: Homer, Ed and Eddy snickered.
 * Homer (in unison): They're busted.
 * Eddy (in unison): Boy, are they gonna get it.
 * Ed (in unison): Happy place, Happy place.
 * John: And as for you three!
 * George: Thundered John Cena.
 * John: Your behavior was worse! You made them do what they did! Spongebob is absolutely right. This is my railway so I make the orders!

 * Waxelplax: Turner, you miserable engine!
 * George: She scolded.
 * Waxelplax: Just look what you've done to our breakfast! Now I shall have to cook some more! If you were still a little kid, I'd give you detention by now!
 * George: She banged the door. More plaster fell. This time, it fell on Timmy. Timmy felt depressed.

 * George: scolded John Cena.
 * Timmy (muffled): I know, Mr. Cena. I'm sorry, Mr. Cena. I totally deserved this.
 * John Cena: You'll go to the works now and get your broken and torn up parts mended. I'm afraid it'll be a long job.
 * Timmy: Yes, Mr. Cena, sir!
 * John Cena: Meanwhile, a diesel railcar will do your jobs.
 * Timmy: W-w-w-what?! Did you just say a diesel railcar?! *in his mind* I sure hope it isn't who I think it is (referring to and foreshadowing Trixie appearing in the next episode)
 * George: Timmy spluttered.
 * John Cena: Yes, Timmy. Diesels always stay in their sheds till they are wanted and they never scamper off to breakfast in stationmasters' houses.
 * Timmy: Ain't that the truth? (story ends)

Trivia

Quote 1

 * George: Bart and Johnny were worried. Timmy's recent accident had caused a great deal of trouble. And John Cena was waiting for them with important news.
 * John: Bart, Johnny, this is Trixie Tang, the diesel railcar. She's here to help while Timmy's out of service.
 * Trixie: Hello, unpopular trains.
 * Bart: Uh, pardon me, Mr. Cena, but please tell me she'll be outta here when Timmy's back!?
 * John: Well, that all depends.
 * George: Said John Cena.
 * John: For the time of her stay, I want the two of you to make sure she feels welcome and satisfied.
 * Bart (unamused): Whatever you say, Cena.
 * Johnny (in unison): No problem, Cena! You can count on us!
 * George: Said the engines.
 * John: Much appreciated. Hurry off now and show her to the shed. She's gonna want to rest after her long trip here.
 * George: Trixie was not easy to please. She shuttered at the engine shed.
 * Trixie: *scoffs* Is this where you trains sleep?! Where I come from, I sleep in a nice clean shed. And if I get dirty, you'll be hearing from my lawyer!
 * Bart (to Johnny): Ay carumba! She's a pain.
 * Johnny (to Bart): Nuts to her attitude.
 * George: Next, they tried the carriage shed.


 * Trixie: This is better,
 * George: Said Trixie.
 * Trixie: But what on earth is that filth?
 * George: The "filth" turned out to be Cosmo, Wanda and Plank who were most offended.
 * Cosmo (tearing up): Filth?! I thought I was the cleanest coach in the world!
 * Wanda: *in unison, Cosmo cried* I won't stay here to be insulted while you make my honey cry!
 * George: Wanda Fumed. Bart and Johnny had to take them away and spend half the night soothing their hurt feelings.

Quote 2

 * Trixie: You wouldn't want Timmy Turner's smelly pink and green coaches now.
 * George: The passengers waited for Trixie to start, but she didn't. She saw that a milk van was about to be coupled to her, and was most indignant.
 * Trixie: Do they honestly expect me to pull that excuse of a truck?
 * Driver: Surely.
 * George: said her driver.
 * Driver: You can pull one van.
 * Trixie: I won't!
 * George: said Trixie.
 * Trixie: That little Bart train can pull it. He loves pushing freight cars!
 * George: She began to shudder violently.
 * Driver: Nonsense!
 * George: said her driver.
 * Driver: Come on now, back down!
 * George: Trixie lurched backwards. *Trixie lurches back* She was so cross, she blew a fuse.
 * Trixie: See, what did I tell you?!
 * George: Trixie said and stopped. Everyone argued with her, but it was no use.
 * Trixie: It's by orders of my Security guards.
 * Driver: What Security?
 * George: Asked the driver.
 * Trixie: My Security guards are very nice people. They'd come by daily and examine me carefully. "Trixie," they'd say "Never, never pull. You were built a rich engine, and your butler says rich engines don't do dirty work. And pulling is bad for a diesel's swerves as highly-sprung as yours" So I'm afraid that's how it is.
 * George: Finished Trixie.
 * Stationmaster: Stuff and nonsense!
 * George: said the stationmaster.
 * Shunter: I can't understand!
 * George: said the shunter.
 * Shunter: Who ever let Mr. Cena send such a FEEBLE--!
 * Trixie: Feeble?! FEEBLE?!!!!
 * George: spluttered Trixie.
 * Trixie: Unattach me--!
 * Passengers: STOP ARGUING!!!!!
 * George: grumbled the passengers.
 * Passengers: WE'RE LATE ALREADY!
 * George: So they uncoupled the van, and Trixie purred away, feeling very pleased with herself.

Trivia

 * This episode introduces Trixie Tang to the series.

Quotes

 * George: Trixie the Diesel Railcar's work in the countryside was full of surprises. But she was frightened of bulls and cows and she remained very lazy and stubborn. One day, Johnny brought Plank to the station where Bart was grumpily shunting.
 * Johnny: Hiya, Bart. Looks like Trixie left the milk behind again, eh?
 * Bart: Great, I guess I'm gonna have to make a special journey with it!? As if there wasn't anything better for me to do!
 * George: Grumbled Bart.
 * Johnny: (to Plank) What's that? (to Bart) Plank says, "We'll take the milk and you fetch our freight cars."
 * George: The drivers and stationmaster agreed.

Quote 2

 * George: The brake van was in smithereens. Kevin had jumped clear, but Bart was stranded. Next day, John Cena arrived. Johnny and Trixie had helped to clear the wreckage, but Bart remained on his perch of freight cars.
 * John Cena: Because of your accident, we'll now need to try,
 * George: Said John Cena.
 * John Cena: To run the branch line with Johnny and the diesel. If it wasn't for you, Bart, we wouldn't be in this awkward predicament!
 * Bart: Sorry, man...
 * John Cena: I'll need for you to stay there until we're ready.
 * George: Continued John Cena.
 * John Cena: And next time, be more cautious of freight cars. (in his head) Usually, it's the cars who are the culprits for my trains' accidents, but somehow, I know Bart made them do what they did.
 * George: Bart sighed. The freight cars groaned beneath his wheels. He quite understood about awkward predicaments. John Cena spoke severely to Trixie too.
 * John: The trains of my railway always work hard, but you've done EVERYTHING EXCEPT WORK HARD! And lazy engines like you get sent away!
 * George: Trixie was ashamed.
 * John: BUT. Johnny has told me that you helped to work hard after Bart's accident. So, Trixie, I'll be giving you another chance.
 * Trixie: You can count on me, Mr. Cena!
 * George: Said Trixie.
 * Trixie: I know I can AND WILL work hard. The little bald engine even says he'll help me out.
 * John: Now that's what I like to hear. When Johnny's not in his own world, what he doesn't know about branch line problems isn't worth knowing. Our Johnny's an experienced engine.
 * George: Next day, Timmy came back.
 * Cosmo and Wanda: YAAAY!!!
 * George: And Bart was sent to be mended. Cosmo and Wanda were delighted to see Timmy again and he took them for a run at once.
 * Cosmo: Can we go to Cherry World?
 * Wanda: Not now nor never!
 * Timmy: *laughs as he pulls out* I missed you guys.
 * George: All are now friends and Johnny has taught Trixie a great deal. She shooed a cow off the line the other day all by herself.
 * Johnny: See? What'd I tell ya?

 * Homer: Branchlines are for losers. (exits scene)
 * George: Edd chuckled and followed him to the station. (Edd blows whistle and leaves)

Quote 2

 * George: Next morning, Snap and Bloo peeped into the yard. There were no cars for them, but they didn't mind that. Teasing Homer would be much better fun.
 * Snap: Say, Bloo. What's that next to you?
 * George: Asked Snap.
 * Bloo: Hello?!
 * George: Squeaked Bloo.
 * Bloo: It's Homer! Are you blind?!
 * Snap: I doubt that's Homer.
 * Bloo: Come on! Of course it is!
 * Snap: He'd never step wheel onto any branchline. He says they're for losers.
 * George: Homer pretended he hadn't heard them.
 * Bloo: Well, if you say it isn't Homer,
 * George: Said Bloo.
 * Bloo: Maybe it's just rusted old metal.
 * Snap: Yeah. We best get it to the scrapyard!
 * Bloo: No way! This metal's useless for anything. Let's bring it to the harbor and push it into the sea!!! It's perfect!
 * George: Homer was alarmed. (in unison, Homer blew on his whistle)
 * Homer: (screams) I AIN'T SCRAP!! IT IS ME!!! I'M HOMER!!! HELP!!!
 * George: When Skinner suddenly arrived, Homer thought him the most beautiful sight he had ever seen.
 * Homer: Help me, Skinner! They're after me 'cause they think I'm scrap!
 * George: Skinner quickly seized up the situation and threatened to take away the cars he had brought for Snap and Bloo. This made the friends behave at once. Homer thought Skinner was wonderful.
 * Homer: Oh, I've never been so relieved! How do you control them?!
 * Skinner: Hm, beats me.
 * George: Sighed Skinner.
 * Skinner: Just a talent I suppose.
 * George: Homer still believes that Skinner saved his life. But we know the little engines were only teasing. Don't we?
 * (episode ends)

 * Spongebob: *loud gasp* BARNACLES!
 * George: burst out Spongebob.
 * Spongebob: I'm surprised at all of you! you're all jealous. Edd is better than you'll ever be.

Quote 2

 * Edd: I'll try my best, Lisa. *groans to himself*
 * George: promised Edd. Edd puffed and pulled his hardest, but his wheels kept slipping, and he couldn't start the heavy train. The passengers were anxious, and Lisa was sad.
 * Lisa (with tears in his eyes): *sad gasps* Oh dear, Edd, *sad gasp* We're stranded You can't do it. *sobs sweetly.
 * Edd (with tears in his eyes): I'm disappointed in myself. Why, the passengers... We can't take them home because I'm too weak.
 * *both sob sweetly*
 * George: After a minute of sorrow, Lisa suddenly developed a plan.
 * Lisa: *wipes the tears off her eyes* I think I've just the idea to get you rolling again, but this is our only hope, I'll be right back, I got to alter the coaches. *runs to coaches and loosens the couplings*
 * George: Lisa was making adjustments between the coaches.
 * Lisa: I've loosened the couplings, Edd. Now it'll be much easier for you, boy.
 * Edd: I certainly hope so.
 * George: said Edd.
 * Edd (in a groaning way): *blows his whistle* I must! I will! I shall!
 * George: he puffed, and moved cautiously forward. The first coach moving, helped to start the second, and the second helped the third. *scene fades to Edd as he blew his whistle in unison*
 * Edd (in a brave groaning way): I've succeeded! I must go on....
 * George: puffed Edd.
 * Lisa: Keep it steady, Eddie!
 * George: warned Lisa.
 * Lisa: You can do it, Edd!!!! I believe in you, Edd! You're getting these passengers home! Keep trying! *begins praying*
 * George: and Lisa prayed as she listened to Edd's steady beat as they forged slowly but surely ahead.

 * Spongebob: A branch line of my own?! Oh, goody! Thank you, Mr. Cena!
 * George: Replied Spongebob. So Spongebob took charge of his new branch line. The responsibility delighted him. The line runs along a coast by sandy beaches til it meets a port where big ships come in. Spongebob enjoyed exploring every curve and corner of the line.

 * George: Said Spongebob indignantly. Later, he spoke to Sandy.
 * Spongebob: Piero called me a duck last night! And I should keep quiet like an egg!
 * Sandy: He called y'all a duck, huh?
 * George: Pondered Sandy. She whispered something to Spongebob. They were going to play a trick on Piero and pay him back for teasing Spongebob. The engines were busy the rest of the day and nothing more was said. Not even a quack. But when at last Piero was asleep, Sandy popped something into his water tank. Next morning when Piero stopped for water, he found that he had an unexpected passenger aboard. A plump yellow duck popped out of his water tank.
 * Psyduck(in unison): PSY-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YIIIIII!!!!!

Quote 1

 * George: Buttercup is a diesel engine who works for the quarry company shunting freight cars in their sidings. She has six small wheels hidden by sideplates just like Johnny's. Buttercup is young and full of her own ideas. She likes rearranging things too and began putting Johnny's cars in different places every day. This made Johnny cross.
 * Johnny: Your rearranging of the cars has corrupted the quarry!
 * George: He grumbled.
 * Buttercup: Ah, big deal!
 * George: said Buttercup and flounced away. At last Johnny lost patience.
 * Johnny: Plank and I have no time to play hunt the cars with you. Take them yourself, home-wrecker!
 * George: Buttercup was pleased. Taking cars made her feel important. At the station, Plankton oiled up to her.
 * Buttercup: Johnny's a spoiled brat!!!
 * George: She complained. Plankton sensed trouble and was delighted.
 * Buttercup: He says only steam trains can do work with cars!!!
 * George: Contined Buttercup.
 * Plankton: I'm so sorry to hear that.
 * George: Squirmed Plankton.

 * Cars: Hold back! Hold back!
 * George: They cried.
 * Buttercup: RRRAAAAUUGGH!!
 * George: Ordered Buttercup.
 * George: The cars just laughed and her wheels spun helplessly.

Quote 4

 * George: Said Eddy.
 * Eddy: You look ALMOST as great as my coat of paint.
 * Chester (unamused): Gee...thanks, Eddy.
 * George: Replied Chester.
 * Eddy: What's that buzzing?
 * Chester: If you must know, it's the bees. They're in these beehives the vicar told me about. I'm taking them to the station today. His pet bees make some great honey and he says he even shares it with his friends.
 * George: Just then, Skinner the diesel engine hummed in.
 * Skinner: Be careful when around bees, you two. You know they might sting you!

 * George: Replied Skinner.
 * Skinner: They're hoodlums when they start horsing around.
 * George: Eddy bustled in.
 * Eddy: What?! Spongebob, don't tell me you're afraid of bees. They're measly insects for crying out loud! Don't let that loser diesel fill your head with such bunk!
 * Spongebob: His name's Seymour Skinner and he wasn't we were-
 * Eddy: I wouldn't care how many were swarming around me! I'd let off steam so hard they'd never come back to our railway!
 * Spongebob: *laughs* Buzz, buzz, buzz, Eddy.

 * George: Continued Spongebob.
 * Talls: Of course I do! I can land on great big ships. Anywhere I go and anytime I can! Bye, guys!
 * George: Spongebob sighed. (Spongebob does so in unison) He went on talking about the regatta all day (in unison, Spongebob was heard chattering) Bart lost patience.
 * Bart: Look, Spongebob, we've been working all day and it's hard to concentrate with you talking! Will you quit bugging me about the stupid regatta?! We can go anywhere on our tracks anyway!

Quote 2

 * George: Sandy returned with bad news.
 * Sandy: A fellar taking part in the regatta has gone and broke his arm. Spongebob, you and I have been told to get him to the hospital at the next station. Come on! Tails is bringing him now!
 * (Spongebob hurries to the Horizon and the scene fades to Tails hovering. Spongebob then arrives and Tails hovers down)
 * Tails: Hi, Spongebob! It's great seeing you again!
 * George: Whirred Tails as he landed carefully on the platform. The man was gently helped to safety.
 * Tails: My job requires me to stay at sea. Otherwise, I'd gladly bring the man to the hospital myself. Gotta fly! Bye, Spongebob!
 * George: Spongebob set off on his journey. Soon he was steaming well and his wheels were thundering along the track. When they reached the station, the man thanked everyone and Milhouse got ready to take him the hospital.
 * Milhouse: Wow, Spongebob! You're like the Flash speeding down those tracks!!!
 * George: Glowed Milhouse.
 * Milhouse: It's no wonder you're called Great Western!

 * George: teased Snap.
 * Snap: He wants us to lend you a buffer and take all your cars for you.
 * Skinner: Your goody-goody duo act won't work on me. I'm two steps ahead of your shenanigans. But I digress, more help is needed around here.

Quote 2

 * George: At last, the day's work was done. The friends now became excited. They were going to use the turntable for the first time. Snap went first.
 * Snap: Hey, Bloo! This is pretty fun!
 * George: He shrieked to Bloo. He didn't want to move off at all. The foreman stopped the turntable.
 * Foreman: Please make way for the other engines!
 * George: Cried the foreman. Snap did so, but the foreman had accidentally stopped the turntable in the wrong place. Snap was on the wrong track and there was Bloo puffing directly toward him. The engines came to a grinding hault. They gazed grimly at each other.
 * Snap: Hey, Bucko! I was here first!
 * George: Said Snap.
 * Bloo: Na-uh! I was! Besides, you're in my way! Now move!
 * Snap: I won't!
 * Bloo: Move it!
 * Snap: I won't!
 * George: John Cena came to stop the noise.

 * Homer: So I need all the coal I can get. But you'd never understand that.
 * George: Eddy snorted and went about his work. Later, Homer was taking on water from a stand pipe. Because the water tower was under repairs.

 * George: Said Homer.
 * Homer: I wouldn't need to make so many stops! And then I'd rub it in the little trains' faces! (laughs)
 * Marge: Those tenders belong to a visitor, Homer.
 * George: Replied Marge. Plankton sidled up alongside.
 * Plankton: Everyone knows tenders are a wonderful thing to have. But there's not enough tenders in the world to save you in the end. My kind is taking over and we don't need tenders to show what doesn't need improvement. Not even one is necessary.
 * George: Homer was most upset.

Quote 2

 * George: But Ed started complaining. He banged some cars, angrily.
 * Ed: It is not fair I work too much. Another tender I need!

 * Spongebob: No deal for you. Piero, would you care for them?
 * Piero: I would-a decline-a the offer.
 * George: Replied Piero.
 * Spongebob: They're very nice tenders,
 * George: Continued Spongebob thoughtfully.
 * Spongebob: Not to mention powered by gravy. Maybe Eddy will-
 * Ed: Gravy?! I, Ed want!
 * George: Said Ed
 * Ed: How many are there?! And when does Ed get them?!
 * Spongebob: Hmmmm. Well, Ed, I happen to have six. And they'll all be yours tonight.
 * Ed: Hooray! I'm kicking the bucket!
 * George: Chortled Ed.
 * Ed: I have achieved greatness!
 * George: Ed was excited all day.
 * Ed: Aw, come on, Spongebob!
 * George: He begged for the umpteenth time.
 * Spongebob: (laughs) Oh, Ed. You really must calm down. Besides, they're all ready for you now.
 * George: The other engines waited where they could each get a good view. But Ed wasn't a splendid sight at all. His six tenders were very old, dirty and filled with boiler sludge.
 * Homer: (laughs) Wash nicely, Ed?
 * George: Called a voice.
 * Homer: That'll refresh ya all right!
 * George: Ed was not sure, but he thought the voice belonged to Homer.

 * Steve: Cool! What kind of fate?!
 * Wheezler: Whatever happened to Baby Eddie?
 * Abe: That youngster was nothin' but a show-off!
 * (scene shows Baby Eddie whistling)

 * Baby Eddie: Listen, Old man!
 * Abe: He'd snarl.
 * Baby Eddie: Who flips their lids about a few little spills?! Big deal!
 * Abe: Us, older and wiser trains, I said. But that bratty train just laughed in my face.

 * Johnny: Our h-h-hero?! No way, Jose!
 * George: A large painting of Abe hung in the engine shed.
 * Timmy: Yep. The same ol' Abe.
 * George: Said Timmy.
 * Timmy: And Bubbles told me the story.
 * George: And this is the story Timmy told them. (in unison, we transition to Timmy's story.)
 * Timmy: Long ago, when Carl was still called Wheezler and Sheen, Steve. They worked with Abe on his old railway. But Steve still had a lot to learn. The manager came to see him.
 * Manager: Steve, I'm pleased with your work so far. Now you must learn a difficult part of the line. We call it, The Mountain Road.
 * Timmy: Steve was delighted.
 * Steve (Sheen): I, Ultra-Steve accept this responsibility, sir!

 * Timmy: Urged Steve.
 * Abe: Don't call names and don't sass me!
 * Timmy: Huffed Abe. Soon they approached the tunnel. Steve didn't like the tunnel. It was curved and he couldn't see.

 * Mermaidman: Let's see...this part should be fine...I think...
 * George: Anxious passengers waited for news.
 * Barnacleboy: Everyone, settle down! Abe IS going to take you all to the harbor. But he'll be a little late.
 * George: Said Barnacleboy.
 * Barnacleboy: So, we've called two more trains to help us get there. You'll still catch the boat on time!
 * George: Steve buffered up in front.

 * Workman: We're going to take you to the works now, Edd. Come along!
 * Edd: Right-o. (to Mac) Fare thee well, Mac! Your railway's a most lovely line.
 * Mac: Thanks. I'm feeling a lot better thanks to you, Edd. Bye!
 * (Edd's whistle blows and exits the scene.)
 * (Then the scene faded to Sheen pulling Blossom, Twilight Sparkle and Betty Quinlan the coaches)
 * George: Meanwhile, Sheen was having trouble with some coaches. He ordered them to behave, but the coaches didn't trust him. They found him obnoxious and rude.
 * Blossom: How did we get stuck with HIM?!
 * Twilight: UGH! I can't take anymore talk about Ultra-Lord!
 * Betty: You girls, calm down.
 * George: There was worse to come.
 * (Sheep baas)

 * George: Said Libby, his driver.
 * Libby: But who's gonna take the visitors' train?
 * Mac: Hey, what about me?
 * Libby: Mac, are you sure? I mean, pink and purple (referring to the colors of Blossom, Twilight and Betty) aren't really your colors.
 * Mac: I don't care about fashion. I wanna pull coaches again.
 * George: Said the little engine. The coaches stood at the platform.
 * Mac: Are you all out of your minds?!
 * George: Scolded Mac.
 * Mac: Don't you know you could have hurt your passengers?!
 * George: The coaches quivered.
 * Blossom: We're sorry, Mac. It was Sheen who made us act that way.
 * Twilight: This is one lesson that isn't what friendship's about.
 * Betty: It won't happen again.
 * George: The conductor blew the whistle and their journey began.

 * Carl: I think its nice.
 * George: said Carl.
 * Sheen: HMPH!
 * George: replied Sheen.

Quote 2

 * Sheen: These aren't Ultra-Sheen's coaches! They're more like fiends!
 * Twilight Sparkle: What?! Us?! Fiends?!
 * Blossom: (in unison): You're an idiot, ultra-jerk!
 * George: cried the coaches.
 * Dot: What a mean engine!
 * Sheen (while puffing away): Ultra-Sheen will demolish you fiends someday!
 * George: clanked Sheen. He rolled into the station just as Homer arrived.
 * Sheen: Hey,
 * George: Said Sheen.
 * Sheen: I know you.
 * Homer: Simpson. Homer Simpson. Who are you?
 * Sheen: I. Am Ultra-Sheen! And I've heard about you! You're a MEGA ultra-engine! But an ultra-engine like me deserves real coaches I call allies, not these ones I call fiends! Are your coaches fellow allies? I guess they are! You and I need to talk sometime. Sorry, I can't chit-chat right now, duty calls!
 * George: Homer was speechless.
 * Homer (in unison): What the-?! Wha?! Huh?!
 * George: Clouds of steam filled the air as Sheen huffed and puffed along the line. He was hoping for a rest, but Libby thought otherwise.
 * Libby: Ok, Sheen, we'll leave these coaches here and head to the quarry for some cars.
 * Sheen: Cars?!
 * George: Snorted Sheen.
 * Sheen: Cars?! Are you mad, woman?!! There's no way I'm doing that!
 * George: Sheen was about to cause a great deal of trouble.
 * (Sheen derails himself)
 * Sheen: Oops!
 * George: Said Sheen. By the time workmen came to rescue him, Sheen felt rather silly. To make matters worse, there stood John Cena. His message to Sheen was brief and blunt.
 * John: I want a word with you later tonight!
 * George: Then he left with Carl.
 * Libby: All right,
 * George: Said Libby.
 * Libby: Let's get you back on the tracks and then after, I am SO done with you for today!
 * George: When Sheen crawled home, he found John Cena waiting for him.
 * John: Sheen, your behavior is unacceptable and I don't like it! I hope to see an attitude adjustment the next time you come out of this shed!
 * George: After hearing that, I hope Sheen will. Don't you?

Trivia

 * Blossom, Twilight Sparkle, and Betty Quinlan make their last appearances as the red coaches.

Quotes

 * George: Sheen had been naughty. So John Cena made him stay in the shed for a while. Carl was now busier than ever. He had to do Sheen's work as well as his own. He was very excited and the fireman found him hard to handle.
 * Sheen: Who could have that much fun working?!
 * George: Said Sheen who was lonely and bored.
 * Mac: Apparently, engines who aren't manic or have an "ultra" obsession.
 * George: Replied Mac.
 * Mac: Keep up the good work, Carl. I know you'll do well.
 * George: But Carl was in such a state that he couldn't listen. He collected some coaches and went on his way. But somehow, the faster he wanted to go, the slower the journey became. When Carl finally fussed into the station, Ed was already there.
 * Ed: Tsk, tsk. Do you know how long I have been waiting? If you are late again, I, Ed will leave your people to strand themselves and eat their own body parts in order to survive!
 * (Conductor's whistle blows and Ed leaves)
 * Carl: Wow...That sounds graphic for something they wouldn't really do.
 * George: Said Carl. Secretly, he was a little worried.

Quote 2

 * George: The conductor was ready with his flag and whistle. Katara was making her way to the train. Then it happened... *Carl pulls out with his train* The conductor says that Carl is too impatient. *scene cuts to Carl with his train* Carl said he was sure he heard a whistle, anyway he started.
 * Dot: No, Carl! wait!!! wait!!!!
 * Veronica (in unison): Are you getting stupider, Carl?!
 * Hogarth (in unsion): Carl what are you doing?! No! No, STOOOOP!!!!!
 * George: cried the coaches.
 * *Carl stops the train*
 * Dot, Veronica, and Hogarth: You left Katara behind!
 * Veronica: You're more of an idiot than usual, Carl!
 * Carl: *moans* Now I'll be more late for Ed than usual!

Quote 3

 * Ed: Tsk! Tsk! Do you know long I have been waiting--?
 * Sid: Ed, he's on time you idiot.
 * Ed: Oops, sorry! *goofy laugh*
 * George: laughed Ed. But Katara was still cross.
 * Katara: What in the world were you thinking stranding me at the station? You could've made Aang, Sokka, and Toph, especially Momo (Aang's pet winged lemur) worried sick!
 * George: she scolded.
 * Carl: I'm sorry, pretty girl.
 * George: Carl apologized sadly.
 * Carl: But Ed said he was gonna strand the passengers.
 * George: Katara giggled.
 * Katara: You silly engine, Ed was just being hilarious! He'd never leave and strand his passengers. He's an idiotic ham.
 * *conductor blows whistle and Ed leaves*
 * Carl: *growls* That big green lump!
 * *scene cuts to Ed puffing away and laughing goofy*
 * George: But Ed had chortled away.
 * *Ed puffs and laughs goofy in unison*

Quotes

 * George: Then Tails noticed something. A sturdy diesel was coming around the mountain. Tails flew lower for a closer inspection.
 * Tails: Hi! I'm Tails! Who are you?
 * Jimmy: I'm Jimmy. Jimmy Neutron.
 * Tails: I've never seen you before. What brings you this way?
 * Jimmy: Mr. Cena has big assignments for me.
 * George: This was no time for a chat with a helicopter.
 * Tails: Well done, Jimmy! Bye! And keep up the good work!
 * Jimmy: Nosy little chopper.
 * George: Muttered Jimmy.
 * Cindy: Quit complanin', Nerdtron. It's not that long a trip now.
 * George: Said the driver.
 * Cindy: We'll be at the top station soon enough.
 * George: Carl and Sheen were glad to see Jimmy. Even so, Sheen would not stop being silly.
 * Sheen (as he shunted his cars): Take that, you evil fiend!
 * George: The cars didn't like Sheen and wanted to play tricks on him.
 * Homer: No one understands us.
 * George: Sympathized Homer.
 * Homer: If you played sick, you wouldn't even be working with these cars. *chuckles*
 * Sheen: *happy gasp* That is the most ingenious idea EVER! You have my full gratitude, sir! The task shall be done!
 * George: He did so next morning.
 * Sheen: I'm so sick! I feel like I'm dying!! Somebody pour me some soup!
 * George: There wasn't time to examine him. So some of his freight cars were coupled behind Carl's coaches. Jimmy promised to follow with the rest.

Quote 2

 * George: Carl duly waited at the bottom of the slope for the loaded cars. He never bumped cars unless they misbehaved. But the loaded cars couldn't see him properly. They thought he was Sheen. Their chance for trickery had come.
 * Cars: Faster! Faster!
 * George: They yelled.
 * Cars: No! No!
 * George: Wailed the empty cars.
 * Cars: It's Carl!
 * George: But it was too late.
 * (Cable snaps)
 * Cars: Hurrah! Hurrah!
 * George: Roared the cars. Carl shut his eyes. (in unison, Carl screamed)
 * (The cars crashed into Carl and one of the cars landed on a waterline causing water to pour on Carl.)
 * Carl (as he blew his whistle): Help! Somebody?! I want my mommy!
 * George: Wailed Carl. Jimmy was working nearby and came to help clear up the mess.
 * Jimmy: Leapin' Leptons!
 * George: Exclaimed Jimmy.
 * Jimmy: Don't worry, Carl. We'll get you out.
 * George: Carl felt battered. His funnel cracked and his boiler dented.
 * Carl: Gee, *snorty sniff* Thanks, Jimmy.
 * George: He sighed and limped slowly home.
 * Sheen: Whoa, Carl! You really took one for me!
 * George: Said Sheen.
 * Sheen: Those no-good cars would never have penetrated the power of Ultra-Sheen!
 * Carl: You didn't tell me they would attack.
 * Sheen: Hey, I can't keep EVERYTHING in mind!
 * John: You never do. And you can start now by doing Carl's work alongside your own. Maybe that'll teach you the consequences of pretending to be sick!
 * George: Sheen did start thinking...about Homer. When the wreckage was cleared away, Jimmy set off along the line.
 * Tails: Hi, Jimmy. Great to see you again.
 * George: Whizzed Tails.
 * Tails: I was just doing one more thorough search before I turn in for the night.
 * Jimmy: Well done, Tails. Bye! And keep up the good work.
 * George: And the little diesel purred back home.

Trivia

 * Jimmy Neutron and his driver, Cindy Vortex are introduced to the series in this episode.

Quote 1

 * George: Carl was feeling depressed. He was still getting over his accident, but he wanted to start work again. But John Cena wouldn't let him.
 * John: Another day off is just what you need to do you some good. I also have a surprise for you.
 * Carl: A surprise?! Is it a Llama?! Or better yet, a baby Llama?!
 * John: I'm sorry, it isn't a Llama. But you'll be thrilled.
 * George: The surprise was Mac.
 * Carl: Oh, hi, Mac.
 * George: Said Carl.
 * Carl: I was waiting for when you'd come home.
 * George: They lit Mac's fire and he sizzled happily.
 * Mac: Ah, that's better. Just like an engine should feel. So, what's been going on since I was away?
 * Carl: Well, for starters, I see you just met Jimmy.
 * George: Said Carl.
 * Mac: Yeah! He and I are friends already!
 * Carl: Yeah...
 * George: Replied Carl.
 * Carl: If only Willie would take the time to get to know him.
 * Mac: Who's Willie?
 * Carl: He's a new train who came to do my work after my big spill.
 * George: Replied Carl.
 * Mac: Does he work hard?
 * Carl (narrating while footage of Willie was shown rocking and rolling with a passenger train): He's a busy worker, I guess. But he shakes when he's rolling on the track. Other times he may swing or make other shaky movements. His driver, Shrek calls it "Scottish Rock 'n' Roll".
 * Mac: Whoa. I totally get that.
 * George: Said Mac gravely. Frankie interrupted.
 * Frankie: UGH. Willie's at it again. He's stuck in a tunnel. Come on, Mac, we better go help him out.
 * George: Mac was pleased. He wanted a run and looked forward to meeting Willie.

Quote 2

 * George: Quite soon, they found Willie. *scene cuts to Willie in front of the tunnel* He was stuck at the far end of the tunnel, and was very cross.
 * Willie: Och! Me wee boiler! And me paint! Tunnels should be built like tunnels unlike this death trap! This railway disgusts me!
 * Shrek: Don't be stupid!
 * George: said Shrek.
 * Shrek: That tunnel is giant enough for engines who don't rock and roll like us ogres!

Quote 3

 * George: That evening, Mr. Cena spoke severely to Willie.
 * John Cena: LISTEN TO ME! There ain't NOTHING faulty about that tunnel you went through, Willie! And the reason why you jammed it is because you tried to do your so-called "rock n' roll"! Tunnels ain't dance floors, railways ain't concert arenas, and you AIN'T A POP-STAR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!
 * George: Then Mr. Cena gave his full attention to Willie's funnel.
 * John Cena: If you whine and complain about that tunnel again,
 * George: he said ominously.
 * John Cena: I'm afraid I'll have to end your career on the Island, so far you're on probation for jamming yourself in a small tunnel. So you better start thinking now and do what's best for business. Do I make myself clear?

Trivia

 * Groundskeeper Willie and his driver, Shrek is introduced to the series in this episode.

Quotes

 * George: Mac the Little Engine loves all the sights and sounds along his line and knows them very well. One day after he had returned from being mended he was enjoying himself more than ever before. Along the way, he met Jimmy.
 * Mac: You know.
 * George: He said.
 * Mac: If it wasn't for all these familiar faces and places, I'd feel as though I was on a different railway.
 * George: Jimmy laughed.
 * Jimmy Neutron: I'm most glad you're pleased. The manager stated "Let's mend the track so well that he won't know where it is." And we did, and you didn't. If you know what I'm trying to say.
 * George: Mac liked this hardworking diesel.
 * Jimmy: However, there is one bad bit.
 * George: Warned Jimmy just before the first station.
 * Jimmy: An engine is likely to come off there. Particularly, Willie. He will rock and roll along the line. Look, there he comes right now and he's doing it! (in unison, Willie came tilting as he was rolling along the track)
 * Jimmy: I hope his passengers don't get hurt.
 * Willie: Are you talkin' about WIllie?! I'm a Scottish engine and I believe in Scottish speaking. Speak up ya wee ones!
 * George: Jimmy warned Willie about the bad bit of rail.
 * Willie: BAH! WIllie knows his way about. He don't need stinky diesels tellin' him how to do things!
 * George: Jimmy felt hurt. Willie banged around the yard then he puffed crossly toward the big station. Eddy was already there waiting for him.
 * Eddy: You're late, slouch!
 * George: He snapped.
 * Willie; Och! Willie knows. It's all that Neutron diesel's fault. He tries to tell Willie how to avoid derailment and then expects Willie to find his own coaches!
 * Eddy: Man, if that ain't bunk, I don't know what is.
 * George: Said Eddy.
 * Eddy: Anyway, let me tell you about diesels. One came to our railway and tried to overthrow Mr. Cena! But I showed him up and he was vanquished! Piece of cake!
 * George: Willie was full of admiration. He didn't know that Eddy was boastful and wasn't known for telling the truth.
 * Willie: Send Neutron packing! That smelly Neutron diesel must go! *laughs*

Quote 3

 * Shrek: Careful! You're gonna derail us!
 * George: Said Shrek. But it was too late.
 * (Willie comes off the track)
 * Willie: OCH! Sweet haggis! I'm off me tracks.
 * George: And he was.
 * Jimmy: I did warn him.
 * George: Said Jimmy.
 * Jimmy: But I'm afraid he'll have to help himself back on the tracks.
 * George: The little diesel refused to move.
 * Mac: Jimmy, how can you think of yourself now?!
 * George: Said Mac.

 * Rudy: No, Spongebob. Blocky's right. This was all my fault and if anyone's gonna set things right, it's me!
 * Blocky: I mean it in a respectful way, Rudy.

 * John: So, Rudy. You don't know your own strength? Is that what you have to say for yourself?
 * Rudy: N-n-no, Mr. Cena.
 * George: Sai-Said Rudy nervously. John Cena inspected Terrence.
 * John: Just as I suspected. Your wood's rotten and your frames are shot. We'll put you back together and maybe you'll learn something from this experience.

 * Trixie: You know he's harmless and I know he's harmless. But does he know? Look at his horns. What if I bump into him and I hurt-I mean he hurts me...um...
 * Driver: The farmer wouldn't like that.
 * George: Tauros sniffed at Trixie.
 * Tauros: *sniffing*
 * Trixie: Eeeww!!
 * George: Said Trixie and that was that. Trixie did no more. Johnny was bemused and amused to see her back in the station so soon.
 * Johnny: Hey, Trixie! I thought bulls always ran for the hills if you blew your horn and looked 'em in the eye!
 * Trixie: Oh, shut up.
 * George: Retorted Trixie.
 * Johnny: Oh, well.
 * George: Continued Johnny.
 * Johnny: We can learn from our mistakes and experiences. I better chase him away for you I guess. (to Plank) Come on, Buddy!
 * George: He clanked away to find Tauros. Johnny's bell rang and his whistle sounded, but Tauros took no notice. Then Johnny unleashed his secret weapon.
 * Johnny: YEE-HAW! (as he said this, stinky breath from anchovy paste shot out from his mouth in reference to "Shoo Ed" and in unison, Tauros mooed)
 * George: That did the trick. Johnny used his secret weapon a little more.

 * Eddy: Forget, you two! Mr. Cena will choose me!
 * George: said Eddy.
 * Ed: YOU?!
 * George: huffed Ed.
 * Ed: The number you are dialing is not in service, Eddy. I, Ed, will achieve greatness as I pull the train and am rewarded with Buttered Toast painted all over me!
 * (Scene fades into Knapford Station in the rain)
 * George: Then the rain came. Sid covered up his cab to keep dry. A painter was on the roof. Ed's smoke blew high into the air. (Ed laughs in unison) The painter couldn't see. Both he and the paint can fell all over Ed. Poor Ed!

Quotes

 * Alec: Homer was feeling grumpy. This was making Eddy cross.
 * Eddy: What's your problem?! Why you gotta complain so much?!
 * Homer: I'm a big blue and white train with great knowledge! I'll complain whenever I choose. And you talk pretty cheap for a train with outside station ideas.
 * Bart: What the heck are those?
 * Alec: Asked Bart.
 * Bart: Sounds pretty new to me.
 * Homer: What's new to you, boy?
 * Bart: Outside station ideas. I'm totally stumped!
 * Eddy: Stumped? Maybe Baldy and Planky could use a third 2x4 member! You'd be perfect, Brat!
 * Alec: Laughed Eddy.
 * Bart: Hey, man, listen here-
 * Alec: But Homer was still grumpy.
 * Homer: Someday, you'll see what a train of my kind can prove!
 * Bart: Like what? Win the award for most beer and donuts consumed?! *laughs*
 * Homer: D'oh! No, for starters, I'll treat your words like I would when Lisa shows me something; Uninteresting!
 * Alec: Replied Homer. Then, he puffed away. Later that day, John Cena came to see him.
 * John: Homer, you're gonna make one stop today with an empty express to test our new station. After that, you can make up for the time spent.

Quote 1

 * Alec: Timmy The Tank Engine had been working in the coalyards all day. The little pink engine was covered in coal dust.
 * Bubbles: I'm sorry sweetie, but I can't clean you up tonight. The hose-pipe has a problem.
 * Timmy: *groans* I can't believe I'm saying this but a bath would make me feel much better, and the other engines will make fun of me.
 * Alec: But the engines were too busy arguing to notice Timmy. Eddy was talking loudest of all.
 * Eddy: Since I'm the most mature-looking, I deserve to get a new coat of paint. Cena says I'm this pride of the line thing and-
 * Ed: Incorrection!
 * Alec: Huffed Ed.
 * Ed: The fruity pebble has said that about ALL us choo-choos!
 * Bart: Eddy's been this way all day.
 * Alec: Confided Bart to Timmy.
 * Bart: Eddy thinks just because he's getting a new coat of paint that he can gloat to all of us!
 * Timmy: Why's Eddy even getting one?! Can't you guys see I'M the one who actually needs one?!!
 * Eddy: Lighten up, Twerper. Hasn't Eddy always steered you right? Don't answer that.
 * Alec: Retorted Eddy.
 * Eddy: You wouldn't get what it means to be splendid like myself!
 * Alec: Timmy was fuming.

Quote 2

 * Alec: Soon Eddy was showing off his paint work.
 * Eddy: Keep it down, folks! There's plenty of me to go around!
 * Bart: There wouldn't be plenty of you if a tree dropped flat on you. That would blow for you!!
 * Alec: Reproached Bart.
 * Eddy: What?! Yeah right! I'd like to see a tree try and drop on me!
 * Martin: O contraire, Eddy. Trees carry as much mighty weight as the average locomotive.
 * Alec: Advised Martin.
 * Eddy: Big deal. As much as I really love chatting with losers, Cena probably needs me to pull the express!
 * Alec: And he huffed away. But Eddy was wrong.
 * John: Eddy, I'm glad to see you. You have to go to the yard to pick up an important goods' train. I must warn you it's heavy so be very cautious.
 * Eddy: Come on, Cena! This is a new coat! Can't Twerper or Brat pull it?! They belong with their own dirty kind.
 * John: Useful engines don't argue with their boss!
 * Alec: So Eddy didn't.

Quotes

 * Bart: What?! Gremlins?! Is that the best you could come up with?!
 * Alec: Asked Bart.
 * Timmy: Bart, chill. Cosmo and Wanda once told me gremlins are these little punks who prank people!
 * Alec: Replied Timmy.
 * Bart: Really? Cooool! We should hunt one down!
 * Eddy: Get a grip!
 * Alec: Said Eddy.
 * Eddy: If gremlins are real, then I'm a little leprechaun looking for his pot of gold!
 * Timmy: If my coaches have seen them, they have to be real!
 * Eddy: Yeah right...
 * Alec: Snorted Eddy. John Cena had heard everything.
 * John: Cool it!!!

 * John: We'll just see what I have to say!
 * Alec: Thundered John Cena.

Quote 2

 * Alec: Homer was very relieved to reach his final destination. Where Timmy was waiting to collect John Cena and his special visitor. He blew an extra long whistle.
 * (Homer does so while he shouted "U.S.A! U.S.A!")
 * Alec: This frightened the vistor's dog so much (in unison, Courage flees the station shouting gibberish) that he fled from the station and ran into a field where a bull was grazing. (Courage does so in unison)
 * (Tauros is shown grazing and he turned to face Courage)
 * Tauros: (moooo!!!)
 * Alec: The bull frightened the little dog even more.
 * (in unison, Courage screams and runs back out the bush)
 * Alec: He ran back again. Onto the platform and over the bridge.
 * Courage: (screaming and shouting gibberish all the way)
 * Timmy (while watching in unison): Whoa!
 * Alec: He didn't stop until he jumped straight into Timmy's cab.
 * Bubbles: Puppy! Wheeee!
 * Courage: (sighs with relief)
 * (Conductor blows his whistle and Timmy departs)
 * Alec: But he had a wonderful ride. All the way to the docks.
 * Bubbles: What's the little puppy's name?
 * Alec: Asked Bubbles.
 * Muriel: Courage. Although with all the things that have happened today, I think Gremlin would be a fine nickname for him.
 * Alec: John Cena agreed.
 * John: In which case, I can proudly say I've met a gremlin at last! (chuckles)
 * Timmy: Say, Mr. Cena. Who IS this important visitor?
 * John: I never told you? This is my old friend, Muriel. And she agrees with me. You're all useful and hard-working engines. And Muriel's absolutely right. (chuckles)
 * Muriel: (laughs in unison)
 * (Episode ends)

 * Francis: Tear the tracks up!! Tar it!!!
 * Workman: Said Francis. So they did. But not properly. And Francis knew it. Later, Timmy was traveling home on the same line. He was pulling freight cars filled with vegetables. The signalman had forgotten to warn Bubbles about the crossing.
 * Timmy: Great! We don't need to stop. I'll go twice as fast to finish the job even quicker!!!
 * Alec: Said Timmy.

 * (Timmy crashes through a barn and comes out the other side)

Quote 3

 * Spongebob: Uh, excuse me sir, you're on my track which is also my way.
 * Francis: You're just gonna have to wait, Cheese-head.
 * Alec: Replied Francis.
 * Spongebob: But I can't wait! My cars are in the way of where Homer's going to come through.
 * Francis: Then looks like he's gonna have to wait too.
 * Alec: Said Francis. Sandy went to complain to the stationmaster, but the signalman had set the signal to allow Homer to speed through. His passengers were singing his praises and he was making express time.

 * Alec: He whistled long and loud as he approached the station. Suddenly, he saw a freight car on the line.
 * Homer: You're in my way, moron!
 * Alec: But the freight car wouldn't move until Homer forced it...(Homer screams and rams the freight car which sent it flying and landing with a crash) By accident. Homer was worried John Cena would be cross. He was, but not with Homer.

Quotes

 * Alec: It had been raining hard for weeks. Johnny was feeling miserable. Everywhere was wet, wet, wet. His branchline runs through a village. The water and the river had risen with the rain. Only the great wall known as a dam was stopping the water from overflowing. Bart arrived just as Johnny was about to inspect the dam for any damage.
 * Bart: Kevin says it could be dangerous up there! For the love of humanity, be careful, Johnny!
 * Johnny: Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy, Bart.
 * Alec: Puffed Johnny bravely. Bart watched anxiously as Johnny trundled away. His journey took him over a wooden bridge at the end of the village. The river surged dangerously beneath it. Tails the Helicopter was inspecting the dam as Johnny arrived.
 * Nick: Show some guts, Johnny!
 * Alec: Called Nick.

 * Alec: And they did, to one of Johnny's buffers. Just then Bart arrived. Tails flew lower to him.

 * Sid: That's strange. Why wouldn't anyone warn us about that. And look! Signal's red! Gates closed! A-a-a-and there's somebody's coat! But who would leave it hanging from a tree?!

 * Ed: IT'S THE BELLY BUTTON EATER!!!

 * Rex: AHH! No one told me there'd be a hill this steep! (nervous muttering) Say, what's that noise?
 * (Rex breaks down)

 * Blocky: Rudy, I'm always going backwards. I've been having thoughts of going forwards. I could be a natural born leader if you know what I mean.
 * Homer: You?! A leader?! You can't even pull cars without an engine! You don't even have a train for that matter!
 * Alec: Homer said. Blocky felt sadder still. Rudy wanted to help

 * Willie: Bah! There's no haunted bridges! Bridges are as tame as rabbits!
 * Alec: But all the same, he kept thinking about Jimmy's story. When dusk fell, he was keen to leave.
 * Willie: Hey, speed up, will ye? Wee Mac'll be in me place at the sheds by time we're through!
 * Shrek: Hold ye horses! We still have cars to collect!
 * Alec: Shrek replied. He could see their plan was working because Willie was nervous. When night fell, they set off. The mists were rising around the old iron bridge. Willie whistled and the sound echoed everywhere. Then, ahead he saw flickering lights. Shrek knew they were only insects that shine brightly at night. But to Willie, they looked like an engine. Next, Shrek secretly threw a rock from the cab into the ravine below.
 * Willie: (screams) GHOSTS!!!! THEY BE REAL!! NOOOOOO!!! TAKE WILLIE BACK! PLEEEEAASE!!!!
 * Alec: When Willie reached the safety of his shed, he closed his eyes tightly.
 * Shrek: Are ye spooked, Willie?
 * Willie: Sorry, Willie can't hear ya while he's sleepin'.
 * Alec: And Willie refused to open his eyes. He did though. When he thought Shrek wasn't looking. Just to make sure that he was still there.
