Gordon, and Franklin arrived at the train station.

Franklin: Sir?
Boss Stephenson: What do te want?
Franklin: Remember that pony Pete Reimer te were talking to on the phone?
Boss Stephenson: Yeah. Did he send that new pony to help us?
Franklin: He's right here with me.
Boss Stephenson: *Staring at Gordon* Why is he so fat?
Gordon: You're going to judge me da my looks? You're a great boss.
Boss Stephenson: Yeah, well te complain a lot.
Gordon: At least I don't judge ponies da their appearance.
Chinese Pony: *arrives* I just finished switching those freight cars sir.
Gordon: *Pointing at chinese pony* COMMUNIST!!
Boss Stephenson: Ignore him Hector, te did good.
Chinese Pony: Right. Thank you. *Leaves station*
Boss Stephenson: Now Gordon, I hear that te don't like steam locomotives. Now, I'm not going to ask why, but I think after te finish working here for only one day, your opinion will change.
Gordon: What if it doesn't?
Boss Stephenson: Well, let me put it this way. If te don't change your opinion on the Iron Horse, you'll never be able to leave here.
Gordon: te can't do that.
Boss Stephenson: Let me talk with your boss. *Grabs telephone*

Meanwhile in Cheyenne

Pete: *In office, and risposte telephone* Hello, Union Pacific's Cheyenne Train Station, Pete Reimer speaking.
Boss Stephenson: Peter? Your faithful Gordon says that he won't change his opinion on the steam locomotive.
Pete: Well, te do whatever te can to make Gordon change his mind, no matter how long it takes.
Boss Stephenson: Did te hear that Gordon?
Gordon: Loud, and clear.
Boss Stephenson: Then, get to work.
Gordon: *Leaves station with Franklin*
Franklin: *Pointing at articulate steam engine* Isn't this thing a beauty?
Gordon: No.
Franklin: Do te at least know that it's a very powerful locomotive?
Gordon: Yes. Let's get this over with so that I can get back to Cheyenne.
Franklin: Okay. *Climbs in engine*
Gordon: *Climbs in engine*
Signal Pony: *Turns signal from red to green*
Gordon: *Blows whistle*
Franklin: *Shoveling coal into firebox*
Gordon: *Drives freight train*
Franklin: So far, so good.
Gordon: Yep. How come your railroad doesn't have any diesels?
Franklin: We deliver a lot of coal on our railroad, and much of it is brought here for our engines, so we decided to make sure none of those special black rocks went to waste.
Gordon: Seems like a good idea, but if te got diesels on here, te could give più coal to your customers.
Franklin: That is a good idea, but you'd have to talk to Boss Stephenson about that. He's really fond of these engines, and many other steam trains.
Gordon: Okay, I'll ask him, but I wanna get my job done first.
