Sodor's Unforgettable Betrayal

Trip To Crovan's Gate

May 17th, 1994
Alright, I'm back to writing. Anyway, this morning we had to take Henry to Crovan's Gate Works. Sara and Ted (Henry's Driver and Fireman) had accidently filled him up with a ton of bad coal, not realizing it was bad last night after the night run with the kipper. They had used quite a bit of the coal, so it will take a little while for Henry's firebox to be fully cleaned out. When we got to Crovan's Gate we gently shunted Henry into The Works. Henry had already been through a lot of trouble with coal in the past so we felt bad for him to have to go through something similar.

Percy was out of breath from carrying the big engine across almost the entire island, but no one else was available to take Henry there, so Percy had no choice but to do it. We slowly went towards a nearby water tower and Percy slowly filled up with water, he felt better instantly. While we were filling up on water, Gordon stopped by with the express, still grumbling about how bad the railway was and stuff. Worse, he decided he would take his anger out on Percy. Percy tried to ignore him but Gordon just shouted at him whenever he looked away. I looked into Gordon's cab and saw Boris (Gordon's Driver) giving out a cold stare, I looked away the moment we caught eye contact. When I looked away I saw Rheneas at the platform. Weirdly, he also seemed like he was in a bad mood, but he was taking his anger out on Sir Handel, which was very weird to see coming from Rheneas of all engines. It was like Rheneas and Sir Handel had switched personalities. I didn't dwell on it for too long as Joel soon told me Percy's tanks were full. I released the brakes and we headed back to Thomas' branch line. Me and Percy were both questioning about Gordon and Rheneas, but it just led to even more questions. I don't know what to say except I hope we can find out what's wrong with them.
