The railways of Britain in their prim are the most powerful railways on earth, and these railways are the power behind the docks and industries that make up Great Britain. We are the Engines of Britain.

About five days have gone by since most of the Godson Railway engines have arrived on Sodor, and got used to the new landscape and scenery around them,. Keeping to the times was something else, but they got that part down pat.
Henrietta, Kate, Clarkson, Elena, May, and Keshaun got along with the other mainline engines. They even got along with Gordon, James, and Henry, but Clarkson, May or Kate would tone down their boasting and them saying 'Tender engines don't shunt.' They never understood why James and Gordon didn't like shunting.
Eric and Christian got used to the Ffarquhar Branch. The two male engines handled the passenger and goods trains. Eric also got along with Thomas, the two of them sharing about their pasts, the others curious about this. Percy also got along with the two male engines. Toby was also pleased of Eric and Christian helping out on the branchline.
For Hammond, (despite his clumsiness) he got the shunting yards in record time, to the yardmaster's surprise to see how efficient the pannier worked, and he was given the yard's praise. The shunting engine said there was no need for praise. A good day's work was enough.

Down at Brendam Docks on Edward's Branchline, Edward and Mia were doing some shunting around the harbor when they came across Henrietta, Gordon and Stephanie.
Brendam Docks is one of the Island of Sodor's most famous ports. It is located on the coast of Brendam, at the end of Edward's Branch Line.

"I'm telling you it's not fair!" Henrietta complained.
"Oh boy, here we go again..." Mia muttered.
"What isn't fair?" Edward asked.
"Henrietta's upset about letting branch line diesels pull main line trains." Gordon explained.
"What are you saying, Henrietta?" Stephanie asked. "BoCo isn't bad, he's the first friendly diesel we ever met."
"But the thought of seeing them on the mainline made us a laughing stock in all of Britain." Henrietta replied.
"Never mind Henrietta,I'm sure BoCo will let you pull his trucks sometimes." Edward joked.
Henrietta spluttered in fury. ""I won't pull BoCo's dirty trucks!" She exclamied. "I won't run on branch lines!"
"Why not? It would be a nice change." Gordon said.
"Sir Topham Hatt nor Mr. Croft would never approve! Branch lines are vulgar!" Henrietta retorted.
"Alright big mouth, that's enough!" Mia interrupted. "I don't care what you say about branch-lines, but that's no reason to call them stupid!"
"Big mouth." Henrietta scoffed. "If you heard yourself young lady, you be wise to shut up, I'm sticking to my point of view, and if you can't handle that go play with Keshaun."
