Foolish Freight Cars (Casey Jr. and Friends Episode)

Transcript
Narrator: As a punishment, Harry was left alone in the shed in disgrace. He had not seen Hoity Toity, anypony or even Rachel or William for several days and he wasn't even allowed out of his shed to shunt coaches or trucks in the yard.

Harry: (Sadly) Oh dear, I'll never be allowed out anymore. I shall have to stay in the shed for always and no one, not even Rarity will ever see my red paint again. Oh dear oh dear…

Narrator: And poor Harry began to cry. But at last, Hoity Toity arrived.

Hoity Toity: I can see that you are sorry, Harry. I hope now that you will be a better engine, you have given me a lot of trouble. People are laughing at my railway and I do not like that at all.

Harry: I am very sorry sir. I will try hard to behave.

Hoity Toity: That's a good engine. There's nothing like determination. Now I want you to pull some trucks to Wellsworth for me. William and Rarity will be here to help you.

Narrator: Hoity Toity was as good his word. Rarity and William holden stepped out of their hiding spot.

William: Hullo Harry. Longtime no see my old friend.

Rarity: It's so good to be reunited with my favorite fire ruby red engine. Now let's get those trucks.

Narrator: Harry was so delighted and puffed away eagerly to collect his trucks. At that moment, another tank engine, who's name was Medaly, had already shunted his train for him onto the goods platform at Vicarstown.

Medaly: Here are your trucks, Harry. Have you got any bootlaces ready?

Narrator: And she ran off, laughing rudely.

Harry: What a cheeky little engine.

Rarity: How rude!

William: Just pay no attention to that rude little engine. Hopefully, she is only here for a trial or something.

Narrator: And soon, Harry backed down onto his trucks.

Trucks: OH! OH! OH! WE WANT A PROPER ENGINE, NOT SOME RED MONSTER!

Narrator: Harry remembers what Johnny had told him about trucks, and bumped them to teach them a lesson. When he was ready, the guard blew his whistle.

William: Alright Harry. Here we go.

Rarity: We'll be with you every wheel turn of the way.

Narrator: They started off.

Harry: Come along you horrid lot! Come along!

Trucks: WE WON'T! WE WON'T!

Narrator: But Harry took no nonsense as he pulled the screeching trucks out of the goods yard. The trucks tried hard to defeat them but they still kept on going. Some times their brakes would slip on accidentally on purpose.

Rarity: Oh you got to be kidding me! Another slipped brake?!

William: I'll deal with it.

Narrator: Sometimes their axels would run hot.

Rarity: (Sniff) excuse me, William, there is a funny smell.

William: (Sniff) You know your right. There is a funny…. Oh, good grief.

Rarity: (Groan) What now.

William: We've run a hotbox.

Rarity: (Groan) I don't believe it.

Narrator: Each time the trouble had to be put right, and each time Harry started off again, determined not to be defeated.

Trucks: Give up! Give up! You can't pull us! You can't! You can't!

Harry: I can and I will! I can and I will!

William: That's the spirit, Harry!

Rarity: Indeed, good show, Harry darling!

Narrator: Slowly but surely, they pulled the trucks along the line. At last, they neared Montana's Hill.

Rarity: Watch out trouble, Harry darling.

William: She's right. We'll charge the hill and get them up before they know it.

Rarity: Don't let those ruffians beat you, darling.

Narrator: So William opened the regulator, sanded the rails and Harry accelerated faster and faster and soon they halfway up.

Harry: I'm doing it! I'm doing it!

Narrator: But it was hard work.

Harry: Whew! Will the top never come?

Narrator: Then with a sudden jerk, it all became easier.

Harry: I've done it! I've done it! Hurray! It's easy now!

Narrator: But William and Rarity looked back and William slapped his face in disbelief. He shut off steam and applied the brakes.

William: I don't believe it!

Harry: What's going on?

Rarity: Those ruffians have done it again. We've left our tail behind. Look!

Narrator: The last ten trucks were running backwards down the hill. A coupling had snapped, but the guard was brave. Very carefully and cleverly he safely stopped trucks, got out and ran down the line with his red flag to warn approaching engines. Then Harry backed the other trucks carefully down the hill.

Harry: That's why it was easy. What a nuisance those trucks are. There might have been an accident.

Rarity: Not mention someone or somepony or engine could have been hurt.

Narrator: By the time Harry reached the bottom, the guard had flagged Johnny down who was pulling 3 coaches with Fluttershy and Rachel. Fluttershy was scolding the trucks severely.

Fluttershy: Just who do you think you are trucks! Breaking away from other engines trains down steep hills. You troublesome trucks should be ashamed of yourself! I have half a mind to find your mothers and tell them what you've been up to, trucks! Um... Well, you don't have mothers, but I will tell Hoity Toity!

Trucks: (quivering in fear) Y.Y…Yes miss Fluttershy… W.w..we won't do it again!

Fluttershy: Good and don't ever let me catch you doing this again! Do you understand me trucks?

Trucks: No..No..No..no.. W.w..we won't do it again.

Johnny: How beautifully you handled that Fluttershy. I'd love to learn how to stare down trucks like you did.

Fluttershy: (Blush) Oh it's nothing really. I've done it all the time to keep animals from being naughty.

Johnny: Well I must say, you must be a really good expert with animals.

Rachel: That's our Fluttershy alright Johnny.

Fluttershy: (Blushing, giggles)

Narrator: Soon, Harry arrived and was recoupled to remnants.

Johnny: Shall I help you, Harry?

Harry: Uh no thank you, Johnny, I'd like to try and get them up myself.

Fluttershy: That's the spirit, Harry.

Rachel: Don't let them beat you.

Narrator: Soon Harry was ready and with a shrill whistle he started off!

William: You can do it, Harry!

Rarity: What a valiant effort darling.

Narrator: A whistle of encouragement came from Edward.

Edward: You're doing well Harry!

Fluttershy: Keep it up, Harry!

Rachel: That's it, Harry. Go it!

Narrator: Harry slowly struggled up the hill. It was hard going, but now felt fueled with determination.

Harry: I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!

Narrator: He pulled and puffed and puffed and pulled as hard as he ever could with clouds of smoke and steam pouring from his funnel. Till at last...

Harry: I've done it! I've done It!

William: Well done Harry! You got them! You got them!

Rarity: Bravo darling! Bravo!

Narrator: They coasted safely down the other side. They reached Wellsworth safely. Harry was resting in the yard when Edward pulled up. He whistled a greeting and then out stepped Hoity Toity.

Harry: Oh dear. What will he say?

Narrator: Harry began to panic. After all, he did lose part of his train and got delayed several times due to the trucks' tricks. But he needn't have worried. Hoity Toity was smiling at him.

Hoity Toity: I was Edward's train and saw everything. Thanks to your valiant effort, you've made the most troublesome trucks on the line behave. And after that, you deserve to keep your red coat. Well done Harry.

Harry: Oh, thank you, Sir.

Narrator: Harry felt happier than ever. That night back at Knapford Hotel, Applejack was talking to Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash about how she did working with Alfred.

Twilight Sparkle: I never thought Alfred could drink that much water and consume so much coal in one trip.

Applejack: I agree, and this has been happening since 1920 when he first arrived.

Pinkie Pie: That could lead to some big problems in the future. I say we have to get that looked at soon.

Rachel: Nevermind, at least you got the goods train over to Vicarstown, Applejack Here, let me make you guys some tea.

William & Rarity: (Proudly) Speaking of goods trains.

Narrator: Rachel, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie jumped and turned to see William and Rarity beaming from ear to ear.

William: Me and Rarity just tackled the most troublesome trucks on the railway with Harry today.

Rarity: Well, of course, he had some difficulties, but we just took it in our stride.

William: We even made it up Montana's Hill without a banker.

Narrator: Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie stood there root to the spot in disbelief.

Applejack: What in tarnation? Did I just hear you correctly you tackled Montana's Hill with 24 trucks, including a brakevan, all by yourselves?

Twilight Sparkle: You're joking me right William?

Rainbow Dash: What in Couldsdale? Is this a joke?!

Pinkie Pie: Holy rock candy! You did?!

Fluttershy: Um sorry Twilight, but he is not joking. I know this because I saw them with Edward and Rachel, they made right over the hill all by themselves. Great job you two. Yay!.

Narrator: At that moment Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie stood there, staring then they both mumble something. Then with stagger and stumble, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie fainted dramatically.

Fluttershy: Um... Too loud?

Narrator: A few minutes later Rachel came in with the tea when she saw Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash pick themselves up.

Rachel: Are you four alright? What just happened?

Applejack: Don't ask, just, please…

William: It's alright Applejack. At least Alfred didn't leave you stranded in that tunnel.

Narrator: Then Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash laughed too.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, good one William. Anyway, good job with Harry today.

Applejack: Yeah and at least yah all didn't need any bootlace to fix that breakaway.

Rainbow Dash: Great job Will and Rarity.

William: And same with you Applejack with Alfred.

Applejack: Thanks.

Rachel: (Annoyed) Yeah, thanks for the reminder Applejack! Just what I need!

Applejack: Now look, I didn't mean...

Rachel: (Sighs) I don't seem to have any luck with Harry at all. Maybe I should just quit as a driver. (Gets close to tears.)

Narrator: Rachel felt a bit sad, but William wanted to help.

William: Hey, that was just one time. Besides, Edward says you're a very good driver. He can tell by working with you.

Fluttershy: Same here and you are a very good driver.

William: Just remember Rachel, throughout your career, things aren't all gonna be perfect. There will be a day when you'll make a mistake, but that does not mean you should give up the ghost.

Rarity: That's absolutely right. If you just learn from them like Harry did and keep on trying, you'll be alright.

Narrator: After that, Rachel felt better.

Rachel: You're right. We all make mistakes. I know I'm still fairly new to the job, but I'm not gonna let one incident get me down.

Narrator: William hugged his childhood friend.

William: That's the spirit. I'll let you operate Harry tomorrow morning if you'd like.

Rachel: Thanks William, that's very kind of you.

Narrator: And they all happily drank their evening tea.
