Useful Railway
Narrator: The next day, Mike had trouble with some sheep that had strayed on to the line.
Mike: Hey! You sheep move out of the way now!
Mr. Hawkins: Calm down Mike just take it easy now. Fluttershy and Applejack are on board our train. I'll go see if they can help.
Mike : (sigh) thank goodness. I don't want to lose my whistle again.
Snips: That's right. You don't want to go through that lesson again, do you?
Mike: Don't even remind me.
Narrator: Soon, Fluttershy and Applejack cleared the sheep and the train was on its way. Although Mike tried very hard to keep his temper under control like Princess Cadence and the voice of Arlesdale had said, Mike couldn't help but grumble a little bit about the sheep when he got home.
Mike: Ugh! Sheep! Who in there right mind would keep a flock of sheep close to a railway line? Silly stubborned things that always get in the way of our trains!
Rex: Hmm. Well I do admit, they are silly, but on the other hand they are quite useful.
Mike: What?! Rex, have you gone mad?!
Rex: Nope… well not yet at least. You see, the farmers sell their wool.
Bert: What's that?
Rex: Well it's basically a type of fur that sheep wear. The farmers sell it to market where people and ponies like Rarity use it to make clothes from wool, you know, things they wear instead of paint.
Twist: People and ponies would look silly in paint.
Snails: Yeah Twist. Good point.
Snips: And you engines would look quite funny in clothes.
Small Controller/Cadence: Quite right about the sheep Rex.
3 small engines/foal volunteers: Ah!
Narrator: The engines and ponies, startled, jumped
Bert: Oh good evening Sir and malady.
Twist: You gave us a bit of a startle there sir and princess.
Cadence: Sorry about that Twist, and you all can call me Cadence if you like. Anyway, we've got good news for all of you. The local farmers want us to take their wool to market. And if we do it well, then not only will we be proving that we are really useful which is all well and good, it will also mean that we can stay here for good.
(Record scratch)
Narrator: The engines and ponies faces all turned into a worried look.
Rex: What do you mean?
Small controller: I Can answer that. (Clears throat) Well the seven weeks we've been here, have been part of our 2 moth probation period. And once the peak season finishes on Friday, the our probation is up then we can see if whether or not we can stay here indefinitely.
Cadence/Small controller: So you must all do your best.
Bert: But I don't understand sir. We can't drive sheep down the line. They wouldn't go straight and we even if we had cattle trucks, I doubt they'd be big enough to fit the sheep.
Rex: Silly. We don't drive sheep. We take their wool on bales on our flat trucks. You know, the ones with barriers on each end. It will be easy.
Small controller: (Laughs) Very well Rex. You seem to know all about it, so you shall take the 1st train
Rex: Yes Sir. I'll do my best!
Small Controller: That's a good engine. You'll be working with snails and Miss Ravens,
Cadence: Be ready at 11:00A.M tomorrow. Good luck.
Rex: Thank you Malady.
Narrator: And Princess Cadence and the small controller went home, leaving the engines, ponies, Miss Ravens, Mr. Holden and Mr. Hawkins very worried.
Mike: Probation?! If I had known that I would have taken better care not to lose my whistle
Snails: Oh dear I don't like this at all what if we close down.
Snips: What if this is the end of the line for us.
Snails/Snips: We're doomed!
Twist/Rex: Calm down you two.
Rex: We've all had a shock from this, Mike, Snips and Snails, but Princess Cadence and the small controller are right. We need to keep together and all do our best tomorrow.
Narrator: Miss Ravens and Mr. Holden looked thoughtfully at each other.
Mr Holden: (Quietly) We can't let the fate of the Mid Sodor Line fall onto this line too.
Miss Ravens: (Quietly) Your right there Will. We'll not let the engines of Sodor down again.
Mr Hawkins: You 2 alright?
(Toink!)
Miss Ravens/Mr Holden: Uh… yeah Mike, we're fine.
Miss Ravens: (Back to normal tone) Anyway, Rex is right. We all need to pitch in and keep the trains running efficiently. That means…
Mr. Holden: (Looking at Bert) No pettiness,
Mr. Hawkins: (Looking at Mike) No bad tempers.
Miss Ravens: And cooperation with each other. Kay?
3 engines: Got it.
Narrator: the 3 foals and 3 drivers each put there hands and hooves together and they along with the engines all shouted
Ponies/Drivers/Engines: ALL FOR ONE! AND ONE FOR ALL!
Miss Ravens: Now that's what I like to here from all of you. It's getting late and we all need to get a good nights sleep. It's gonna be an early day tomorrow. Good luck everyone.
Narrator: The three driver friends and the 3 ponies all left for arlesburgh hotel.
Rex: Don't worry guys. I think will do okay. After all, taking wool to market it should be a walk in the park. Goodnight guys, and pleasant dreams.
Bert/Mike: You too Rex.
Narrator: They all went to sleep. Early the next morning, the 3 foals and Miss Ravens, Mr. Holden, and Mr. Hawkins all arrived early and got the engines all prepped and ready. When Rex was ready, Miss Ravens and Snails climbed into rex's tender and went to collect the trucks.
Snails: Oh I'm so nervous. I hope we do alright.
Miss Ravens: Don't worry Snails. As long as we keep it together, we'll be alright
Narrator: Soon the guard blew the whistle and waved the green flag.
Miss Ravens: Ready Rex? Lets show Sodor what the Small Controller's engines can do.
Rex: Righto Miss Ravens.
Narrator: With much determination, they set off. They started loading at the lane where the farmers and they're apprentices were eagerly waiting for them with a trailer of wool brought in by lorry or tractor. Jem Cole and Terrence's owner also volunteered to help too, bringing Terrence and Trevor to bring the wool down to there respective pick up areas along the line sides. Rex came gently down the line stopping at all the farms and level crossings. The farmers and they're apprentices would then off load the wool onto a forklift the forklift gently lifted the wool and gently loaded onto they're trucks. Then, they would start off again.
Miss Ravens: Okay. Easy… easy… Good. Thank you ladies and gents. We're away.
Snails: Looks like we are a go Rex.
Rex: righto
Narrator: And they started away.
Snails: Wow we're making great time. I've checked the schedule and we're nearly finished.
Rex: Wow, that's great! How many loads left?
Miss Ravens: Only one more at Arlesdale green. After we turn you round at the top station and start our down journey, then we'll be on our way back down to Arlesburgh. (Sigh) Arlesdale Green Farm. That's brings back memories.
Snails: Memories? Of what?
Miss Ravens: Well when I was a little girl, my parents and I sometimes would go to the farm at Arlesdale Green to help out with Farmer Crane's shire horses
Snails: Shire horses? What are those?
Miss Ravens: Oh, they're are draft horses that mostly plow fields and are sometimes used for tourist rides in carts or for leisure riding.
Narrator: But she'd reckoned without Willie and his tractor. They reached Arlesdale safely and were preparing for the down journey, but Miss Ravens was a bit worried.
Miss Ravens: (Gulp) I just hope Willie is careful this time with Curtis.
Rex: Who are Willie and Curtis?
Miss Ravens: Willie is Farmer Crane's apprentice and Curtis is his tractor.
Rex: What difference does that make?
Miss Ravens: Well, it turns out Willie is a class A slacker whom can't do a job properly without causing a mishap. Hmph! It's a wonder Farmer Crane hasn't fired him yet, but I kinda feel bad for his tractor Curtis whom has to suffer the brunt of his carelessness. I just hope he's careful today.
Rex: Yeah, I see. Well hopefully he will be careful.
Narrator: Finally, the guards whistle blew and they set off, but Miss Ravens suspicions would prove correct. Willie was late, he had been dawdling as usual.
(Willie driving Curtis and parks on the road bridge)
Curtis: Oy! What's going on? Why are we stopping?
Willie: Oh never you mind Curtis. We're nearly at the loading spot. No hurry. I'm just going to take a little nap. (Falls asleep)
Curtis: Ugh! Lazy idiot! Why doesn't Farmer Crane just fire him already. (Sees Rex in the distance) Uh… Willie… yohoo! Uh Willie! I think Rex is coming!
Willie: (Still asleep) That's nice Curtis.
Narrator: Then Rex's whistle startled and roused him awake instantly, and took off at top speed.
Willie: Oh blast! It's Rex! I better get a move on. (accelerates to the drop zone.)
Curtis: Easy Willie, easy! Steady! Careful! It's a steep tight curvy decent here. Take it slowly!
Willie: No time! We need to keep on going! Oh Farmer Crane will have my head if I'm late again.
Button Mash: OY there! Willie! Your loads slipping!
Willie: Oh blimey, so it is. Oh dear!
Curtis: Okay just stop and tighten the ropes.
Willie: I can't stop now Curtis. I hope it will hold.
Curtis: Ugh! ( to himself) Why did I have to be paired with this this class A lazy slacker.
Narrator: Willie dashed into the yard and swept round to bring his trailer alongside the line.
Curtis: WHOA WILLIE! WHOA ! I'M A FORD TRACTOR NOT A RACING CAR! (Shuts his eyes) Oh this not going to end well. (Opens them again)
Narrator: He was relieved to find him miraculously still intact and the trailer and load still intact.
Willie: Whew! There you are Curtis. We've made it, and look told you it would hold. Heh. How do you like them apples?
Narrator: But Willie spoke much too soon. True, the load did hold, but not quite long enough. The trailer tilted the strain, loosened the ropes and the top most wool bails slid sideways onto the track.
Curtis: Um, how do you like them apples Willie?
Willie: Oh crums! That's Torn it! Farmer Crane is gonna have my head! Whatever shall I do?!
Curtis: Well for a start… WARN REX YOU LAZY IDIOT!
Willie: Not now Curtis! Can't you see I'm thinking what I should do…. I know! I've got to warn Rex.
Curtis: Duh! If I was a human or pony, I'd face palm or face hoof myself now!
Narrator: He jumped down from Curtis and ran along the line. Rex's trucks were running nicely. He was making good time and Miss Ravens and Snails felt happy.
Rex: See, I said it was easy with these trucks. It's just a walk in the park.
Snails: Engines can't walk.
Rex: Heheheheh. I know that Snails, but I was just saying that it would be easy.
Miss Ravens: Yeah, I guess so… Wait a minute. Who's that running up to….
Narrator: Then everything happened at once. Willie waved and shouted frantically.
Willie: Rex, look out!
Rex: Wha…
Narrator: Then, behind Willie, through the bridge, Rex glimpsed the bails of wool on the track.
Rex: OH HORRORS! STOP! STOP!'
Narrator: Then Snails and Miss Ravens saw them too.
Snails: OH SWEET CELESTIA! STOP THE TRAIN QUICK!
Miss Ravens : OH GLORY! BRAKE! BRAKE!
Narrator: Then suddenly, the stupid trucks surged forward. Miss Ravens quickly applied the brakes.
Trucks: ON! ON! ON!
Narrator: But Rex's brakes were checked
Rex: OH HORRRORS!
(Rex hits the bails and derails)
Rex: OOOPPPFFF!
Narrator: Rex shut his eyes. His front hit something soft. He tilted sideways and found himself off the line leaning against the cutting side dazed and surprised. Miss Ravens and Snails felt him all over to see if he was hurt.
(Rex opens his eyes)
Snails/Miss Ravens: Rex!
Rex: Oooohhh! Ow ow! uggooohh?
Snails: Oh thank goodness your awake Rex.
Rex: OOoooohhhh! Now what just happened ?
Snails: We crashed into a bail of wool, and derailed.
Narrator: Then Rex noticed Miss Ravens. Her uniform was a bit tattered and scuffed and torn.
Rex: Oh my goodness! What happened to you? Are you alright Miss Ravens?
Miss Ravens: (Feels Rex all over to see if he was hurt.) Don't worry. I'm okay. Me and Snails jumped clear before you crashed into the wool bails, and we kinda landed into a shrubbery but don't worry about me and Snails. We're okay. But the important question is, are you alright?
Rex: OOOOH! I think so. It's a good thing wool is soft. Ooooh! But I think my reputation needs looking at. Ooohhoohh! Ow! That hurt.
Narrator: Willie whistling nervously tried to walk away without being noticed but failed miserably.
Miss Ravens: AND JUST WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING WILLIE!
Willie: Oh uh… uh… I was just going to tell farmer crane about the….
Miss Ravens: OH NO YOU DON'T ! YOU COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW! YOU ARE GOING TO STAY DOWN HERE TO TELL THE SMALL CONTROLLER AND PRINCESS CADENCE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!
Narrator: Willie, abashed, then came down to line side.
Miss Ravens: Snails, watch this man. If he tries to run, stop him. I'm going to get to a phone.
Narrator: Willie felt ashamed. Miss Ravens returned just as Bert had arrived with Twist, Mr. Holden Princess Cadence, the small controller and two coaches. When Bert saw Rex's predicament, he could laugh.
Bert: Heheheheh…. Hullo. Are you new to this railway? Take my advice, you should really talk to my brother Rex. He'll tell you that carrying wool is so easy… Heheheheh.
Rex: (Annoyed) Alright! Alright Bert! You've had your laugh
Mr. Holden: Goodness, Rach! Are you alright?
Miss Ravens: Yeah, I'm okay. The threads may have taken most of the impact, but non the less, I'm perfectly alright
Small Controller: Alright, who's responsible for this?!
Rex/Miss Ravens/Snails: Willie!
Willie: (Ashamed) Yes Sir and malady. It was me Sir and Malady.
Small Controller : Ugh! Willie, I thought might have been you… DO YOU REALISE THAT OUR PROBATION IS NOW AT JEOPARDY THANKS TO YOUR FOOLISHNESS!
Willie: Uuhh… Yes Sir! I am very sorry Sir! I realise I was careless .
Curtis: Hmph! That's a first.
Willie: Yeah, but I just telephoned me master sir and Malady. I asked him and he said that I can help you all clear the mess Sir and malady… Oh please Sir malady… Give me another chance Sir and Malady…
Small Controller: Willie….
Willie: You see, my girlfriend, she'll kill me if I lost this job sir and malady. She surely would Sir and malady.
Cadence: Willie….
Willie: And then there's me poor old mother Sir and Malady. She's all alone in this poor little cottage Sir and Malady…
Small Controller: Willie….
Willie: She needs me Sir and Malady… and I need this job Sir and malady… you know, to help keep food on her table, because you know, this is my only source of income Sir and Malady…
Cadence: Willie….
Willie: Please sir and malady… have a heart Malady and Sir, let me help them Sir and Malady.
Cadence/Small Controller: WILLIE!
(Willie stops flapping his mouth)
Small Controller: Thank you Cadence. (Clears throat) Alright Willie, you can help clean up the mess, but be quick. I don't want to cancel any passenger trains.
Narrator: So Willie stayed to help Princess Cadence, the small controller, Mr. Holden, Miss Ravens, Twist and and Snails clear up the mess. Soon enough, the wool trucks were at last back on the rails and coupled them up to Bert's two coaches.
Small Controller: Excellent work everyone. Well done! Alright Bert. Lets take it away.
Bert: No problem Sir.
Narrator: Princess Cadence and small controller climbed back into the first coach as Mr. Holden and Twist climbed back into Bert's tender.
Mr. Holden: Hey Snails, Rach, we an got extra coach to give you a lift back to Arlesburgh. Care for a ride home?
Miss Ravens: Sure thing.
Snails: You bet.
Rex: Wait, what about me?! I'm still derailed here?!
Small Controller: We can't afford to waste any more time today Rex, you'll have to stay there for a while. Perhaps you might learn a thing or two about the experience of humiliation.
Cadence: I'm sorry Rex. We would like rescue you, but we need to keep the trains running right now.
Narrator: And Bert lost no time in taking the trucks away.
Bert: Heheheheh. See ya Rex. Heheheheh. Don't let any sheep or cows mistake you for grass. Hehehehehe.
Rex: (Sad sigh) It just had to be me, didn't it.
Narrator: Rex did not like this one bit. Trains kept passing him and people and ponies pointed and laughed and say "Oh look theres been an accident." They took photographs, even the mane 6 laughed when they rode on the railway.
(Mikes passes with a passenger train)
Mr. Hawkins: As we leave Alresdale station, the river arles leaves. The railway begins to head towards the estuary. Oh, and over your right, you can see that (snicker) there has recently been an accident at Arlesdale Green. Hehehahahahahahahaeheheahaha.
Passenger 1: Hehehehehahahaha Hey look Margret. Would you look at that? Isn't that cute? There's a been a cute little accident.
Rainbow Dash: (Tears of laughter laugh) BAHAHAHAHAHEHEHAHA! OH THIS IS JUST TOO FUNNY!
Passenger 2: Hehehaahahahaha! OH my word… Now that's something you don't see every day.
Rarity: Hehehehahahahahaha too rich hehehahahahaha!
Passenger 3: Heheheheh. Reminds me of that Titfield thunderbolt picture show. Heheheh! Oh these amateur run railways are very entertaining.
Pinkie Pie: Hahahahahahehehehehehahahahahahehehehe… he almost looked like a tree.
Passenger 4: Hahahahahahaha! Oh that's so rich! You don't get railway comedy back in Dorset, now do you dear.
Passenger 5: Indeed you don't darling. Hehehehahahahaha! Oh this beats going to Carddif bay any day.
Applejack: Hehehahaheheheheheh. he looks just like an apple tree with that green paint work… heheheh… a fallen apple tree that is! Hehehheh.
Twilight Sparkle: (Trying to hold back laughter but couldn't in the end) Hehehehehehe! Be more careful next time Rex.
Passenger 2: (Pulls out a camera and snaps a photograph of rex's predicament.) There we go. One for album.
Fluttershy: EXCUSE ME! (Flies to the rest of the main 6, Mr Hawkins, Snips and the passengers) JUST BECAUSE REX HAD AN ACCIDENT, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN LAUGH AT HIM! (Points to passenger 2) AND YOU DELETE THAT PHOTO RIGHT NOW!
Passenger 2: Oh… alright, Fluttershy. (Hastily deletes it)
Narrator: The passengers, the main 6 and the drivers, abashed, would remain quiet from then on, but Mike and Bert would often laugh and remark how easy it was to pull wool trains.
Bert: Hey, Rex. Why did you make it look so hard to pull wool trains?
Rex: Look, I derailed by accident. Can I please be put back on the rails?
Twist: Sorry Rex. We have passengers to take. Come on Bert.
Bert: See you later. Try not to derail on wool bales mind you. (Puffs away.)
Rex : (Sigh unhappily) Well, there goes my reputation. At least one of the main 6 is on my side.
Narrator: Poor Rex.
(4 Days later)
Rex: 4 days! 4 days I've been stuck out here! (Sigh) Perhaps Princess Cadence and The small controller are planning on having me here as a static display for passengers entertainment. (Groans) Oooh and my paints gotten all grimy now. Oh dear. I'll may never run again I suppose. I deserve this, and the railway is now finished. It's all my fault.
Narrator: Poor rex began to cry, but then he heard a voice.
Voice: It's alright youngin'. At least you tried your best.
Rex: Who said that? Hullo?
Voice: Never mind that youngster. I heard you've tried your best, and I've gotta feeling that all is not lost.
Rex: Uh, what do you mean?
Voice: Well, the main thing is that every cloud has it's silver linings. As long as you try your best, even if you don't always succeed, there is still that glorious gift.
Rex: What gift is that?
Voice: Hope, my dear youngin'. There is always still hope.
Narrator: A small tear dripped from Rex eye but he was smiling.
Rex: Well, who ever you are, thank you so much. Those are the kindest words I've ever heard.
Voice: Anytime youngin'. Hearing that your are happy again would definitely suit his grace.
Narrator: For the first time in days, the derailed Rex and the voice had very cheerful laugh. Suddenly, he heard a whistle followed by another. Then he saw the most wonderful sight of all, Bert and Mike his brothers, with, Twist, Snips, Snails, Mr. Holden, Miss Ravens and Mr. Hawkins.
Rex: Bert, Mike, Twist, Snips, Snails, Mr Holden, Miss Ravens, Mr Hawkins?! What are you lads and lasses doing here?
Bert: Rescuing you of course.
Mike: Yeah, you didn't think we were gonna leave you here, did ya?
Rex: Oh thank you guys. You're the best.
Narrator: They lifted him to the rails at last, and Bert and Mike helped him home.
Rex: That accident served me right for being swanky.
Bert: No. It wasn't your fault at all. That Willie has a lot to learn.
Mike: Sorry we laughed.
Mr Hawkins: Yeah, same here Rex. Heh, Fluttershy will not let us hear the end of that.
Narrator: They lifted him to the rails at last and Bert and Mike helped him home. But they were all worried.
Bert: Oh dear. We did get did wool down safely.
Mike: But that accident won't go unheard, and the question now is what will happen to us. Well all I can say, is its all over for us. Crying shame really. I really like it here.
Rex: You know guys, I don't think that's the case?
Bert/Mike: What? Have you gone mad Rex?
Rex: Well to be honest with you I don't really know. But, you remember that voice you guys told me about? Well I've to talk to the voice as well, and he told me that as long as we try are best, even if we don't always succeed, there is still hope, and I've got a feeling that there is still hope for our railway.
Narrator: They all puffed home, Bert and Mike feeling quite confused about what Rex had said, not even noticing the 3 drivers and ponies grinning. When they got home, they were surprised to see Princess Cadence and the small controller all smiling.
Cadence: What's the matter you with all?
Small controller: You all look as if we closed down.
Mike: But isn't that the case?
Small Controller/Cadence: Hmhmhmh, That's what you think. We're very proud of you all.
Small Controller: Thanks to Rex, the accident did little harm in our busy schedule.
Cadence: Bert and Mike worked like hero's and the passengers all admired the way we managed to keep things going.
Small controller: They all said that we were a toy railway.
Small Controller/Cadence: But now they know that we are really useful indeed.
Small Controller: They promised us plenty more work when the wool traffic is done. We even got a contract to transport produce and the fat controller has even offered to build us special vans transport them.
Bert: You mean that…
Cadence: Yes Bert. The Arlesdale Miniature railway is here to stay.
Rex: Um excuse me Sir and Malady, now don't get me wrong, but over the last 4 months…
Bert: I soaked to celebrity Vickers, Mr Holden and Miss Ravens.
Small controller: Yes.
Mike: I lost my whistle at the expense of the company.
Cadence: Correct.
Rex: And I had derailed 4 days ago and became a laughing stock
Small Controller: And your point.
Rex: However did we pass our probation?
Cadence: Well lets put it this way: there was nothing a love magic spell couldn't fix. And you've all have really matured since our probation and all of you have learned from your mistakes.
Narrator: The ponies, drivers and all the engines whistled and cheered with triumph.
Mr. Holden: You know guys, this calls for a song to celebrate.
Narrator: Mr. Holden quickly ran into the workshops and pushed out very old yet still perfectly intact piano and began to play it and sang his song.
Mr. Holden: (Singing) you gotta clean up the mess you make. You gotta put back the things you take. It's not so hard if you stop and think and learn from your mistakes.
Rex: (singing) Look out step. So you don't slip.
Mike: (singing) Make what hold won't drop or drip.
Mr. Hawkins: (Singing) your troubles will vanish in wink just learn from your mistakes.
Small controller: (Singing) doing wrong is not so bad if it's not a thing you've planned.
Miss Ravens: (singing) just be real careful Everyday
/ Miss Ravens: (Singing) and each day will turn out grand.
Bert: (Singing) Be sure where land before you leap
Snails: (Singing) You don't want to be a sorry heap.
Small Controller: (Singing) It's up to you if you swim or sink so learn.
(Whistling and Piano solo)
All: (singing) And learn from your mistakes
(Whistling and piano solo)
All: Just learn from your mistake.
Cadence: (singing) Making one mistake is not a cause to fret or fuss, just work real hard to put things right .
All: (Singing) and you'll be the same as us!
Snips: (Singing) Make sure when you run that you don't stop.
Twist: (Singing) it takes common sense to reach the top.
Cadence: (Singing) For life can o so rosey. If you think…
Foals : (Singing ) If you think.
Small Controller: (Singing) And you think
Mike/Bert/ Rex: (Singing) and you think
Mr. Holden: (Singing) and you learn..
Mr. Hawkins/Miss Ravens: (Singing) And you learn
All: (Singing) And learn from your mistakes
Narrator: Everyone fell down laughing (Except the engines, they stayed on the rails laughing), happily for knowing now that Arlesdale Miniature Railway was truly a useful railway. When the humans and ponies left, the engines started discussing again.
Mike: Hmm. Did you say you heard the voice too Rex?
Rex: Yes, I did. You 2 are definitely on the level.
Bert: I say we report to Princess Cadence and the small controller tomorrow morning about this. This is very strange indeed.
Narrator: With that, the engines went to sleep.
... And we'll pick up on that, 3 books later. See you around everyone.
