Gordon returned to work after his suspension. He was happy to return, but little did he know that things would ultimately go bad for him.

Pete: Welcome back Gordon. Now repeat after me.
Gordon: What for?
Pete: Repeat after me! I will not do anything to disgrace this railroad.
Gordon: I will not do anything to disgrace this railroad.
Pete: o anyone that works here
Gordon: o anyone that works here.
Pete: I will do exactly what my boss tells me to do.

Gordon: And I will not fuck with him in anyway.
Pete: Alright good. Now I have an assignment for you, and Hawkeye to do.
Gordon: I'm pretty sure te do.
Hawkeye: Mornin' boss.
Pete: Monin' Hawkeye. Come over here. I have an assignment for te to do with Gordon.
Hawkeye: WHAT?!
Pete: I have an assignment for te to do with Gordon.
Hawkeye: I heard you, but allow me to ask again. WHAT?!
Pete: For the last time! I have an assign-
Hawkeye: te told me that twice!!
Gordon: Pity. I wish te could tell him again. Why do we have to work together?
Pete: Coffee Creme is sick, and Orion is on another train with Honey, on their way to Dallas.
Hawkeye: Alright, what do we have to do?
Pete: Carry a huge freight train from here to Ogden Utah.
Hawkeye: What engines are we using?
Pete: Only one. For a freight train like this, te get to use one of our largest locomotives.
Gordon: Oh boy.
Hawkeye: Are te saying we get to drive a bigboy?!
Pete: Eeyup.
Hawkeye: Alright!! This is awesome!
Gordon: Don't get too excited.
Hawkeye: Don't get unexcited, let's go!
Pete: Good luck te two. I know te hate each other, but I'm sure te can complete this job with ease.
Hawkeye: Yes sir. *walks to train*
Gordon: Wait for me *follows*

At the train yard

Red Rose: *switching tracks*
Hawkeye: ciao Red Rose, guess what?!
Red Rose: You're driving a bigboy to Ogden?
Hawkeye: Yeah, how'd te know?
Red Rose: I got a message from the boss. Your train is over there being checked.
Hawkeye: Thank you. *walks to train*
Red Rose: *spots Gordon* You're not working with Hawkeye, are you?
Gordon: Unfortunately I am.
Red Rose: Welp, he's gonna die a very unfortunate death.
Gordon: Don't give me that! You're just a yard operator!
Red Rose: That tells te what to do!
Gordon: Ugh *walks away*
Percy: Hi Hawkeye
Hawkeye: Hey, I thought you, and Jeff were supposed to fix tracks.
Jeff: Not today, we were told to work here for now.
Gordon: What are te doing servicing our engine?! Don't te know that te have to maintain track? te could be fired for doing different work without permission from the boss.
Percy: We were dato permission from the boss.
Hawkeye: *blows whistle*
Jeff & Percy: AH!!
Hawkeye: Something tells me I won $4.
Percy: Aw fine! *gives Hawkeye $2*
Jeff: *gives hawkeye $2*
Hawkeye: Thanks te two.
Percy: successivo time, we'll be prepared.
Gordon: Is everything ready?
Jeff: Yeah, it's fine. Just remember that the breaks may break when you're travelling at superiore, in alto speed which is 75 miles an hour.
Hawkeye: They don't call them brakes for nothing.
Percy & Jeff: *laugh*
Gordon: Let's just go, sposta it!
Percy & Jeff: *get out of way*
Red Rose: *turns signal green*
Hawkeye: *goes for lever*
Gordon: What are te doing?! I'm driving this train!
Hawkeye: Don't argue, I'm the one sitting closest, I'm the engineer *pulls lever*

The two stallions left the yard, and soon went on their way to Ogden.

Gordon: Ok, no cursing. This is my train, no cursing.
Hawkeye: Piss.
Gordon: Hey, what the hell did I just say?
Hawkeye: N----r.
Gordon: Oh wow, are te deaf?
Hawkeye: Damnit.
Gordon: Still going. Really?
Hawkeye: Hell.
Gordon: Do te want me to jump out of this train?
Hawkeye: It'd be pretty nice.
Gordon: Well I'm not the one breaking rules here. So go shovel the coal, pronto.
Hawkeye: We'll be fine. When we get up to Sherman hill, then we'll need più coal. Get ready.
Gordon: This is going to be a long journey.
Hawkeye: Eeyup

The train went up Sherman Hill, and Gordon was shoveling coal

Gordon: Hey, if te let me drive this train, I will be the happiest pony ever.
Hawkeye: *flicks Gordon*
Gordon: dadlhbndfgonlkesjgkodsfgbvdfljkgzx! YOU. Leave this train right now! If you're going to torturize me, then get off this train
Hawkeye: *flicks Gordon*
Gordon: Yoyoyoyo! Now, you're making me mad! Get the hell off this train.
Hawkeye: Nah, I kinda like it in here. We're not even halfway up, why have te stopped shoveling?
Gordon: Because that's what te should be doing.
Hawkeye: Says the one with the shovel.
Gordon: Fine! *shovels più coal*

At 15 miles an hour, they made it to the superiore, in alto of the hill.

Hawkeye: Alright, time to tumbler, highball down the line. *pushes lever*
Gordon: How fast do te intend to go?
Hawkeye: 60.
Gordon: What?!
Hawkeye: 60
Gordon: I heard you, but that made me give the intention to ask again. What?!
Hawkeye: Well how fast do te want to go, 20?
Gordon: Shouldn't we be going 80?
Hawkeye: If we hit 75, and we try to stop, the brakes will break. Don't te remember?
Gordon: No, that's why I asked.
Hawkeye: Of course te don't remember. *looks at signal* Now we have to stay in this speed otherwise we crash into another train.
Gordon: No we won't! sposta *pulls Hawkeye from controls*
Hawkeye: te are an idiot if te think te can do this!
Gordon: No I'm- Are te recording this?!?
Hawkeye: *holding camera* Yeah, because if we crash Pete will know which one of us to fire.
Gordon: te better give me that footage!
Hawkeye: *puts film in case* te want it? *holds it out window*
Gordon: NO! Don't put it there!
Hawkeye: Alright, te don't want it. Aaand it's gone!
Gordon: NO! *jumps out*
Hawkeye: Hahaha! *brings case back in engine* I didn't even let go.

Hawkeye then started to slow the train down. As he predicted, another train was in front of him, but the engine pulling it broke down.

Hawkeye: *puts train in siding*
Workers: *moves train out of way*
Hawkeye: How long do I have to wait here?

Worker: About 2 minutes.
Hawkeye: Ok. Thanks

Meanwhile with Gordon

Gordon: *looks for case* Where is that case?
Percy: *driving cart* ciao Gordon, what are te looking for?
Gordon: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!
Percy: Sorry *takes off*
Gordon: Aha! I found the case. *opens case* WHAT?! There's no film in here!! AAAGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
Percy: *backs up* Are te alright? I know it's none of my business, but te seem upset right now.
Gordon: Yes, and I need your help with something. I accidentally fell out of Hawkeye's train. He's waiting for me at a siding. Take me to him.
Percy: Sure thing. Hop on
Gordon: *hops on cart*

Meanwhile with Hawkeye

engineers: It's all clear Hawkeye, te can go.
Hawkeye: Thank you. *pulls lever*
Percy: *driving cart*
Gordon: Shit! He's taking off without me.
Percy: Are te sure you're with him?
Gordon: Yes, I'm sure. *pushes Percy off cart*
engineers: Whoa! What's with that pony?
Percy: He has some vengeance to make.
engineers: Uh, ok.
Hawkeye: *going 30*
Gordon: *Following at 40*
Hawkeye: *gets onto mainline*
Gordon: Ugh! This train is in my way, and it's five miles long!! *puts on brakes*

But Gordon was getting closer to Hawkeye's train, and soon crashed into it.

In front of Hawkeye, a signal turned red.

Hawkeye: *stops train* What is it now?
Percy: *stops successivo to Hawkeye in truck* Hawkeye, come quick!
Hawkeye: *climbs out of cab* What happened?
Percy: Gordon pushed me out of a cart, and ran into your train.
Hawkeye: Oh damnit. *gets in truck*
Percy: *Drives*
Hawkeye: Wait, I forgot something. *jumps out of truck*
Percy: *stops* I'll bet another pony is falling out of another vehicle somewhere.
Hawkeye: *goes back in cab*
Percy: What is he doing?
Hawkeye: *grabs breifcase then kills fire*
Percy: *honks horn* Hurry up!
Hawkeye: *climbs out of cab, and runs to truck*
Percy: What were te doing?
Hawkeye: *gets in truck* Hollywood work. Let's go
Percy: *drives*

At the other side of the train

Gordon: *laying on ground*
Hawkeye: *sees Gordon*
Gordon: *sees briefcase* THERE IT IS!!!!
Doctors: Get him in the ambulanza quickly.
Medics: *put Gordon in ambulance*
Doctors: Now how do we get back to the main road?
Percy: You'll have to follow me first. *drives back to engine*
Doctors: *follow in ambulance*
Percy: What is it with Gordon, and briefcases?
Hawkeye: He decided to be a working stallion for once.
Percy: What is that supposed to mean?
Hawkeye: He enjoyed being with me for once, and started loving his job. He was loving it so much that he wanted to get a briefcase. I have a bunch of things in here to keep me awake for my long job, and I'll need it in the future.
Percy: I'll bet te do.

Back to the ambulance,

Gordon: *jumps out*
Pete: What are te doing?!?
Gordon: Sir?! What are te doing here?
Pete: Checking to see if you're not on dope! I drove here, and when I heard you, and Hawkeye had some issues, I came here.
Gordon: No, there's a misunderstanding.
Pete: Oh yes there is, but te can't fool me. You're fired!
Gordon: what? Fired? No, no no no no no...
