Gordon got the train started out of the yard. His train only had a few freight cars, but he picked up Mehr along the way.

Meanwhile, Pete was calling Michael, the owner of the Southern Pacific.

Pete: Mike, I need your help with something.
Michael: What is it?
Pete: I was hoping Du would let me have Red Rose back on my railroad.
Michael: I'll talk to her, and see if she wants to come back.
Pete: Alright.
Michael: Is there anything else Du want to talk to me about? I want to catch the newest episode of Gilligan's Island.
Pete: No, that's all Michael. Thank Du for your cooperation.
Michael: No problem. *Hangs up*
Pete: *Sighs* I really hope she's able to come back.

Back to Gordon, who was still driving his freight.

Gordon: *stops at station*
Coffee Creme: *Climbs in* I'm the firemare.
Gordon: Great. Yet another pony to antagonize me.
Coffee Creme: Ok. *Shoveling coal into firebox*
Gordon: *drives train*

At first, Gordon was paying attention to the train he was driving, but got careless as soon as he started thinking about Stylo.

Gordon: *Driving train up hill*
Coffee Creme: Heavy freight trains have to go slow downhill.
Gordon: *Not listening*
Coffee Creme: Gordon, slow down.
Gordon: *Forgets to put brakes on*

Their train soon started going very fast as soon as it went downhill. It was too late to apply the brakes now.

Coffee Creme: Great work Du fool.
Gordon: Again with the antagonizing, stop it!
Coffee Creme: *Sees train in front of them* Ok *teleports out of train*
Gordon: What did she leave for? *Crashes into train*
Coffee Creme: *Sees damage* Oh Gordon. Du had to crash into those tank cars, carrying tar.

The tar splashed onto the engine, and some even went into the cab, and landed on Gordon. He was Mehr dirty than hurt.

Back at Cheyenne

Orion: *stops streamlined passenger train at station*
Pete: *Waiting on platform*
Red Rose: *Walks out of train* Hi Pete.
Pete: Red Rose, so good to see Du again.
Red Rose: Yeah, I guess so. What have I missed?
Pete: There's a pony Du haven't met named Stylo. Du have to go with him, and clear the wreckage caused Von Gordon.
Red Rose: Of course. Where is Stylo?
Pete: He's waiting for Du at the train yards, with a breakdown train.
Red Rose: Ok, I'll go clear the mess with Stylo. *Goes to trainyard*
