Transcript
Narrator: Johnny was getting old his bearings were worn and he clanked as he puffed along, he was taking empty cattle cars to a market town, the sun shone birds sang, but Johnny was heading for trouble.

Johnny: come on, come on.

Narrator: he puffed.

Freight Cars: Oh, Oh!

Narrator: screamed the cars, Johnny puffed and clanked, the cars rattled and screamed, some cows were grazing nearby they were not used to trains the noise and smoke disturbed them, as Johnny clanked by they broke through the fence and ran across the line, a coupling was broken and some cars were left behind, Johnny felt a jerk but didn't take much notice, he was used to cattle cars.

Johnny: bother those cars.

Narrator: he thought.

Johnny: why can't they come quietly.

Narrator: he was at the next station before either he or his driver realized what it happened, when Montana and Alfred heard about the accident they laughed and boasted.

Montana: fancy allowing cows to break your train, they wouldn't dare do that to us we'd show them.

Narrator: Old Shelbert was cross.

Shelbert: you couldn't help it Johnny, they've never met cows, I have, and I know the trouble they are.

Narrator: some days later Montana rushed through Johnny's station.

Montana: boop boop, find the cows, hurry, hurry.

Narrator: puffed Montana.

Coaches: don't make such a fuss, don't make such a fuss.

Narrator: grumbled his coaches, a long stretch of line lay ahead in the distance was a bridge, it seemed to Montana that there was something on the bridge, his driver thought so too.

Montana's Driver: whoa Montana.

Narrator: he said and shut off steam.

Montana: Who.

Narrator: said Montana.

Montana: it's only a cow, shoo, shoo.

Narrator: he moved slowly onto the bridge, but the cow wouldn't shoo, she had lost her calf Andy felt lonely.
