I was bringing in a freight from Albany, when I saw Bartholomew leaving the yards in a switcher.
Skywalker: *Stops train in Croton West Yard* Hey Ten Cents. Where's he going?
Ten Cents: Back to the station. It'll be time for him to go home soon.
Skywalker: Okay.
Bartholomew: *Stops engine at servicing facility* Good thing the facility is near the train station.
Lady: *Driving electric train northbound*
Zorran: Alright, get that bridge down!
Zebedee: *Driving tug, and trying to pull down bridge*
Zug: *Doing the same*
Captain Zero: Pull harder for crying out loud!
Lady: *Sees tugboats* Whatever they're trying to pull, it's not moving.
But as soon as she said that, the bridge soon fell into the river. Unfortunately, Lady's train also went into the river.
Zorran: Yes! Good work. Now, let's get out of here.
Zebedee & Zug: *Drive away*
Skywalker: *Runs to Lady's train* I hope she's alright.
Henrietta: What is going on?
Skywalker: Lady drove her train into the water.
Henrietta: Stupid doppelganger. *Follows Skywalker*
Lady: *Emerges from water*
Henrietta: You fool! Look at what you've done!
Lady: Sorry.
Henrietta: That's not good enough. I will need $145,000 for that locomotive you just drowned.
Lady: You could scrap it, and get the money.
Henrietta: Hey, that's not a bad idea.
Zorran: *Walks up* May we be able to help you?
Henrietta: Yes. You may get our freight from here to Manehattan, while the bridge is being fixed.
Zorran: Thank you. I'll tell Captain Zero right away.
At the time, no one (except for the Z stacks) knew that the bridge was pulled down by a couple of tugs, driven by four ponies.
Next day, Lady was talking about the bridge to me, and Master Sword
Lady: I swear, that bridge moved to the left when I saw it move into the water.
Master Sword: Are you sure?
Lady: Yeah!
Skywalker: You could be right, but how would we get Henrietta to believe you? She hates doppelgangers.
Lady: Maybe if you two tell her for me, then she'll believe it.
Skywalker: Maybe.
Master Sword: It's worth a shot.
Later in Henrietta's room.
Skywalker: *Knocks on door*
Henrietta: Come in.
Skywalker: *Opens door* Good morning ma'am.
Master Sword: And good morning from me too.
Henrietta: May I help you?
Master Sword: Yes. We're here in regard of Lady.
Henrietta: What does that lousy doppelganger want?
Skywalker: Forgiveness. She didn't mean to drive the train into the water.
Henrietta: Well it happened, so who cares?
Master Sword: She says the bridge was pulled down by the Z stacks.
Henrietta: Really?
Skywalker: Well think about it. We have refused to give those ponies any of our freight.
Henrietta: That does make sense. And, they aren't even fixing the bridge like I told them to. I'll talk to them.
So Henrietta did talk to them. The Neigh York Central would not give the freight to any of the Z stacks, and they fixed the bridge theirselves.
The Z stacks wouldn't give up though, but we'll continue that story later.
