Author's notes: Remember in the previous story when Shining Armor was also helping the Culdee Fell Railway? Well, we get to see that here. Also, we gave some much needed development of the Crystal Ponies.

Danger Points

Narrator: Soon Donald along with Mr. Hawkins, Donald's driver and Big Macintosh took Culdee along the Peel Godred line up to the exchange siding at Loey Machan. He was soon off loaded by crane on to his own rails. The rest of the mane 4 drivers and the manager was there and much to his surprise was the mane 6 ponies and Shining Armor along with a blue glowing pony. They all said good bye and thank you to Donald and Big Macintosh.

Culdee: Well hullo there sir. Good to see you again.

CFR: Manager: Good to see you again too.

Culdee: I see you got some new help while I was away.

Shining Armor: Heya Culdee. I'm Shining Armor. I'm am basically a pony assistant manager for CFR and also an NWR Pony engine driver.

CFR Manager: That's right. While you were away Culdee, Prince Shining Armor was kind enough to offer his assist and some of these crystal ponies have even offered to help out too. We have more work then ever since Shane Dooniey is away being mended.

Twilight: We came too, not only for a summer holiday but also to help out too. I mean, after all, this is a heritage railway too.

Narrator: They lit Culdee's fire and while waiting for steam, they looked him over carefully.

CFR manager: Well they did a very fine job mending you.

Shining Armor: Now Culdee, this will be one of your Pony engine crew. Night Knight.

Culdee: Hullo there Night Knight.

Night Knight: A pleasure to meet you Culdee. I've heard so much about from Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens. It's an honour to be operating an famous mountain engine.

Culdee: Oh thank you, you're too kind. Are they're any other crystal ponies?

Night Knight: Oh yes, there's six of us in total. I'll introduce them to you when we meet them.

Narrator: Culdee simmered happily.

Culdee: (Sigh) it's lovely to be at home and in steam again. I am longing to have run with Catherine.

Night Knight: Alright! I was hoping you say that.

Mr. Holden: Well come on then old boy. How about we go get her then. Like they always, say theres no time like the present.

Mr. Hawkins: Alright, we'll be waiting at the platform for you guys.

Narrator: So they went off to the carriage shed. Catherine was pleased to see them again and as soon as they picked the mane 6 ponies and Mr. Holden's friends. They went for short run.

Catherine: Oh Culdee! I missed you so much. I've had to travel with Lord Harry and his crystal pony engine crew member, Long Jump. They take risks and frighten me. Whenever we go out, they just laugh and keep whooshing up and down the mountain. It makes my wheels wobble.

Culdee: Heheh. Never mind my dear. It'll be alright now.

Catherine: (Sigh) Thank you Culdee.

Culdee: That's alright… why if it isn't my old friends, Ernest and Wilfred?

Ernest: Hello mate. Welcome home.

Wilfred: Heh, great to see you again.

Narrator: Night Knight introduced Culdee, the mane 6 ponies and the main 4 drivers to their pony crew.

Night Knight: Culdee, Mr. Holden these are Ernest's and Wilfred's pony crews, Crystal Arrow and Castle.

Castle/Crystal Arrow: Pleasure to meet you.

Crystal Arrow: I'm Crystal Arrow. I work Ernest.

Castle: And I'm Castle. I work with Wilfred.

Narrator: After some getting acquainted with two other ponies and some happy gossip, Culdee asked.

Culdee: Say do you guys know who Lord Harry is?

Wilfred: Oh he's one of the new engines whom came while you were away and when Shane Dooniey left. He's our number 6.

Castle: He works with one of the athletic crystal ponies, Long Jump, very competitive and so are his friends, Rapid Rush and Toastie.

Ernest: They work alongside Alaric and Eric, No.7 and 8. They're nice quite engines and so are Rapid Rush and Toastie when they're not competing against each other. But Old Harry is a terror… and Long Jump doesn't seem to know when is the right time to run a race… they 3 are crystal ponies and… oh dear. Here they come now.

Wilfred: Brace yourselves!

Narrator: Miss Ravens quickly handed ear plugs to the humans and ponies while the engines and Catharine closed their eyes tight. Lord Harry and Long jump pull out of the station push a coach up to the summit.

Lord Harry: (singing terribly to himself out loud) Ding a ling ding ding! Oh! Mr Porter, what shall I do, I wanted to go to Birmingham, and they've taken me on to Crewe. Take me back to London, as quickly as you can. Oh! Mr Porter what a silly man I am. (bangs his coach)

Lady Elaine: OOOPPH!

Lord Harry: (Still singing terribly oh mr. Porter) Ding a ling ding ding! Ding a ling ding ding! Ding a ling ding ding a ling!

Long Jump: That a boy Lord Harry! Now move it! Move ! move! Move! (Singing Just as bad) oh Mr Porter, what shall I do, I wanted to go to Birmingham, and they've taken me on to Crewe, Take me back to London, as quickly as you can oh Mr. Poter what a stupid man you are!

Fluttershy: Oh my… He sure was going awfully fast. I hope he doesn't wreck himself.

Wilfred: I hope so too, but if he keeps this up he will eventually.

Culdee: Uh… do they all singing like that?

Ernest: No thank goodness. He is just the one. Alaric and Eric never do that.

Miss Ravens: Thank heavens for that.

Mr. Holden: Well then, I'll keep an eye on him whilst my friends help out too.

Crystal Arrow: Aw, thanks guys. So who do you want?

Mr. Roberts: Well I better Take that Lord Harry, he's pretty much like a Godred the 2nd with those rides and that colt Long Jump seems to makes things worse. So I'd better keep an eye on those two.

Mr. Holden: I'll take Culdee and work with Knight Night and I'll double duty with Alaric and Raid rush.

Miss Ravens: I'll take Wilfred and work with castle

Mr. Hawkins: And me and Crystal Arrow will work with Ernest and I'll double duty with Toastie on Eric's footplate.

Narrator: Next afternoon, Culdee was at the servicing facilities at Kirk Machan. The Mane 6 ponies Twilight sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy were waiting at the platform for their afternoon train. To Fluttershy's dismay it was being operated by Lord Harry and Long Jump. Lord Harry came in with Lady Elaine on his way to the platform. He banged her hard, making Fluttershy shudder in fear.

Fluttershy: (Scared) Oh my.

Lord Harry: PAH! Stupid things coaches are! They're all scared of coming with me.

Long Jump: Peh! I know what you mean! These stupid coaches don't know when to have a little excitement in there dull lives.

Culdee: Well, I'm not surprised. Your too reckless that's why.

Lord Harry: What you know about it, you patched up ruin!

Culdee: I know that we never take risks on mountain railways.

Lord Harry: Ah, you must be the famous Culdee. The Mr goodie goodie two wheels.

Long Jump: Yeah, a natural leave to beaver engine you are. I'll have you know, I've traverse higher mountains than this scotch free.

Lord Harry: They're no risks at all climbing this lump! I'm up-to-date, I can go twice your speed in perfect safety! Why with my Super heat….

Culdee: Oooh, it's super heat is it? I would call it super conceit myself.

Narrator: The passengers boarded the train and after pushing a reluctant Fluttershy into the even more reluctant coach. Lord Harry snorted furiously away. Bumping her furiously.

Lord Harry: Get a move on Elaine! That Culdee thinks he's so great. I'll show him! I'll show him!

Lady Eliane: Ooooh! Be careful around these corners.

Lord Harry: Poh! I like things to be exciting!

Long Jump: Now you're talking Harry. Full steam! YAHHOO! SO shut up coach!

Narrator: Every wise mountain engine knows that you do not take risks and that the points must be taken slowly for there, the rack rail can have no guard to keep pinion wheel from slipping out. But this is Lord Harry we're talking about.

Lord Harry: ( Singing badly again) Ding a ling ding ding!

Lady Eliane: Harry they're aren't any guards on the points, you need to take them slowly or your pinion wheel will come off!

Mr. Roberts: Steady boy! Steady! Long Jump keep him in check!

Narrator: But neither Lord Harry nor Long Jump took notice. Long Jump was admiring the excitement of the railway and Lord Harry was thinking what he would say to Culdee next time they met. Both singing pathetically too. Inside the coach, the passengers were being jolted and bumped about. Fluttershy was very scared.

Fluttershy: (shivering frightenly) Oh my….

Narrator: She opened the back window to tell Lord Harry to slow down.

Fluttershy: Um Mr. Lord Harry sir, If you don't mind, could please slow down a little. I'm scared we're going to crash..

Lord Harry: Ugh! Theres no danger here so Pipe down!

Long Jump: AND GET BACK IN THE COACH!

Narrator: He wheesh steam rudely at Fluttershy making retreat to carriage and whimper like a sad puppy as he stormed up the final slope.

Rarity: Oh my goodness how rude of that ruffian!

Narrator: But Lord Harry and was pleased with himself.

Long Jump: Peh! That shut her up!

Lord Harry: That patched up old ruin was talking nonsense! Ah ha that's perfect…

Rainbow Dash: HEY! NO ONE IS RUDE TO MY LITTLE SISTER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! (Flies out of Lady Eileen, kicks Long Jump in the face and Lord Harry in the cab)

Lord Harry: OUCH! Get back in there!

Long Jump: Yeah you circus clown! How dare you kick us like that!

Rainbow Dash: Oh you want to do this the hard way?! We'll do this the hard way!

Lord Harry: Huph! There is nothing that anyone needs to be worried about. Now, like I was thinking of, I'll say 'There you see? Scotch free! how'd you like them apples you patched'… whoa… 'patched!'… WHOOOOOAAAAAAAA!

Narrator: With a loud screech and big clunk, the coach jerked and the guard braked her to a stop. Everyone and everypony looked back in disbelief.

Applejack: Oh for corns sake!

Rainbow Dash: This is what you get for not thinking ahead and making Fluttershy cry! Big Mac won't be pleased about this.

Narrator: Culdee was resting in the sheds at Kirk Machan when the call through.

Mr. Holden: Oh my goodness! Is anyone hurt? Oh, that's a relief. Yes, we'll send some men up with Culdee.

Narrator: Soon, the Manger came up with Mr. Holden, Night Knight and shining armor.

CFR Manager: Lord Harry is off at summit!

Shining Armor: (Sigh) We'll have to take the tool van and put things right.

Narrator: So they collected some workmen and the tool van and set out at once. It was getting dark when they arrived. Lord Harry's shape loomed against the sky. He had come off at the points and blocked both roads to the station. Wilfred was there with his coach, Miss Ravens, and Castle and unable to start they're journey down. The passengers and ponies all gathered around Lord Harry and Long Jump like angry bees. They were feeling harassed.

Rainbow Dash: Of all the places you had to derail at you had to derail here didn't you?

Long Jump: Hey, come on. It was just a little jolt…

Passenger 1: If you want to do it, do it on the moon.

Passenger 2: I want my money back. You got my clothes ruined by blowing your steam in the carriage.

Lord Harry: Just go away, all of you! It wasn't my fault, that window was opened!

Rarity: My sister is waiting for me back home!

Applejack: And so is ma brother and sister.

Rainbow Dash: And Scootaloo.

Narrator: Shining Armor and the CFR manager rushed over to pacify the passengers while Culdee buffered up behind to take the strain. The men levered the engine's front wheels back on to the rails.

Culdee: Oy! Wilfred! Who is this wreck?

Night Knight: Hey Castle, do you know this scotched pony?

Castle: That's Long Jump.

Wilfred: That's Lord harry.

Castle/ Wilfred: I thought you knew already.

Culdee: It looks like Lord Harry and Long Jump. It's as fat as Lord Harry and Long jump. But it can't be Lord Harry and Long Jump.

Wilfred/ Castle: Why not?

Night Knight : Because, Old Harry is an up-to-date engine who can go twice our speed in perfect safety whilst Long Jump can traverse any mountains higher than this scotch free.

Whitney/Lady Eileen: Teehee hee hee!

CFR Manager: Alright ladies, gentlemen and ponies, we have the situation well in hand. We will get you all home as soon as we can. We would get you a shuttle bus service…

Shining armor: But unfortunately due to this being a mountain railway there are no access roads available, however we have just got the No.6 back the rails and we will have all of you home with the down train in one trip by taking the coach from the up train with it.

CFR manger: Once we get back down to Kirk Machan, we will issue a small refund to express our apologies to all of you.

CFR Manager/ Shining Armor: Thank you. We will you all under way as soon as possible.

Narrator: Culdee pushed Lord Harry out of the way and Wilfred took the passengers home. Then, Culdee helped Lord Harry back to the sheds where the manager and Shining Armor were waiting for him and Long Jump.

Lord Harry: It was that coach sir! She never told us.

Long Jump: Yeah. Besides, she was an awkward stand sti….

Shining armor/ CFR Manager: NO TALES! It was both your faults and you know it!

CFR Manager: You upset our passengers and damaged yourself by taking risks. We can't have that on our mountain railway Lord Harry.

Shining Armor: That goes double for you Long Jump! I am very ashamed of you! You should know better never to take risks that could hurt people, ponies, engines and coaches severely! I mean, do you understand how steep it is up there? You're lucky that you're engine didn't roll over and fallen down the mountain like the last engine.

CFR Manager: Shining Armor is absolutely right and worst still, you made go up to a lot of people and say what I wouldn't normally say, like "A SMALL REFUND?!" Who in the right mind who owns a railway would give a small refund?!

Long Jump/Lord Harry: But Sirs…..

CFR Manager: SHUT UP! That's enough!

Shining Armor: Long Jump, you are to be suspended locomotive trip duties until further notice.

CFR: You Lord Harry, will stay here in the shed until we figure out what we want to do with you. I hope, by then, that this stupid events blows over and that I won't have to give any stupid small refunds. Good grief I honestly wonder if Sir Topham Hatt or Mr Peter has any of this troubles?!

Shining Armor: I wonder the same thing about Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

Narrator: The Manager and Shining Armor turned and stormed furiously away.

Well, we have Celestia working for the North West Railway, Luna working for the Skarloey Railway and Shining Armor working for the Culdee Fell Railway. 'What about Cadence?' you ask? Well, we have something else planned for her in a later saga. Look out for ''Devils Back'' next.
