Episode 21: Lease Me Alone

A railway needs a lot of locomotives to pull trains. If there is a shortage of locomotives, a railway will often borrow/lease engines from other railways.

Today, Kenny was not feeling well. Mr. Bruce sent him to the repairs to see what was wrong with him. Soon, his engines started to complain about the extra work they needed to do.

Robert: With Kenny gone, we have too much work!
Jack: I'm sure he'll be fine.
Richard: He maybe lying about not feeling well just so he won't have to put up with any of the work.

Mr. Bruce was annoyed with his engines arguing. He decided to lease a few of Mr. Baldwin's engines.

Mr. Baldwin: Mr. Bruce has requested a few of you to help out since Kenny is not feeling well.
Sean: Really? After all the bullying his engines do to us?
Mr. Baldwin: It's not my decision. Sean, Mike, and Jerry, you three will work on the Northern Errol Line until Kenny comes out of the repairs.
Sean: If he comes out of the repairs. *Leaves with Mike, and Jerry*

Now Mr. Baldwin was running low on engines. Thankfully, Ms. Scarlett was able to lend three of her engines to the Eastern Pacific. They were Margaret, Jade, and Alexis.

When the three engines got to the Eastern Pacific, they were pleased to meet the engines they would work with until it was time to go back to their railway.

Nikki: Welcome to the Island Of Errol.
Margaret: Thanks. The three of us are glad to be here.
Jade: We're brand new engines you see, and this is our very first assignment for Ms. Scarlett.
Alexis: So far everything on this island seems lovely.
Victoria: Wait until you get to pull trains around here. It's really fun.
Mr. Baldwin: I've got your assignments for you everyone. Margaret, and Jade, I want you two pulling passenger trains from Nova Station to Weever Station.
Margaret: Yes sir. *Leaves with Jade*
Mr. Baldwin: As for you Alexis, I want you to pull freight trains to the harbor. You'll be doubleheading with Carter. He'll show you where you need to go.
Alexis: Okay.

Meanwhile, on the Northern Errol Line.

Mr. Bruce: Welcome to my railway.
Sean: Yeah, thanks.
Jerry: Are you glad to have me working on here again?
Mr. Bruce: Yes. It's too bad you won't be staying though. I would like to have you working here again, and who is your friend?
Sean: The Fonz.
Mike: Heeey.
Jerry: His real name is Mike.
Mr. Bruce: So I've heard. You are to carry freight trains from Zorrin to Hunterdon.
Sean: Okay. *Goes to the yards with Mike, and Jerry*
Tony: *In the yards* Hey. How are you guys doing on here so far?
Sean: Not too bad.
Mike: We just started.
Tony: One little word of advice, don't talk to Panzer, Ferris, Robert, or Richard. They're the engines you gotta worry about when working on here.
Mike: We'll watch out for them.
Jerry: I'll make sure they don't get in trouble with them.
Tony: Good idea, and welcome back Jerry.
Jerry: Thanks a lot Tony.

Jade, and the other two engines were enjoying their time on the Eastern Pacific. They were pulling their trains as quickly as they could.

At Mossberg Harbor, Alexis, and Carter got there on time with their freight train.

Alexis: Nice work.
Carter: You weren't so bad yourself. It's a shame though, I wish you could stay on our railway forever.
Alexis: If I don't like the way the Eastwood & Mossberg is, I'll join your railway.
Carter: Okay.
Ferris: *Delivers a freight train with Robert* Hello Carter. Who is the useless steamie with you?
Carter: She's not useless.
Alexis: I can pull heavier trains then you.
Ferris: *Chuckles* Don't make me laugh. I bet you couldn't move me with my brakes on.
Carter: Don't-
Alexis: Challenge accepted.
Robert: Okay Ferris, show her what you're made of.
Ferris: *Uncouples himself from the train* This won't take long at all.
Alexis: *Couples up to Ferris*
Ferris: *Applies his brakes*
Alexis: *Moves Ferris with no difficulty* Are your brakes even on?
Ferris: Yes!
Carter: Awesome.
Robert: How is she doing that?
Alexis: *Stops pulling Ferris* If you want, I'll push you back to your train.
Ferris: *Embarrassed* No thanks. I'll take it from here. *Uncouples himself from Alexis, and goes back to Robert*
Carter: *Laughs* Wait until Mr. Baldwin hears about this.
Robert: What were you thinking Ferris?
Ferris: Oh, be quiet!

At Hunterdon, Sean, Jerry, and Mike arrived at the depot with their freight train. After delivering the train, Jerry decided to see Kenny at the repairs. Sean, and Mike followed closely behind.

Kenny: How much longer do I have to be here?
Repairman: Not too long. I'll call your boss, and tell him you'll be on your way as soon as you get repaired.
Jerry: *Arrives* Kenny?
Kenny: What are you doing back here?
Jerry: Mr. Bruce leased me, and two other engines to help out while you were getting repaired.
Kenny: Oh yeah? Feels great to be back, doesn't it?
Jerry: No offense, but I left this railway for a reason.
Kenny: A bad reason if I may say so.
Mike: You may not.
Kenny: Okay? *Sees Sean* You've been quiet. What do you think about my railway?
Sean: It would be better if your boss wasn't a bully to you, and the other engines.
Kenny: I'm ignoring that.
Jerry: Come on fellas, let's get back to work.

Thankfully, Kenny got repaired a few minutes later, letting Sean, Mike, and Jerry return to their railway. Jade, Alexis, and Margaret were pleased to be back on the Eastwood & Mossberg, but they were sad to leave the Eastern Pacific, especially Carter.

Next day, at Impala Station.

Victoria: *Waiting for passengers to board her train*
Margaret: *Stops next to Victoria with her train* Hello.
Victoria: Hey. Guess what just happened?
Margaret: What?
Victoria: Sean just broke down, and Mr. Baldwin needs three engines to take his place. Would you like to come back with Jade, and Alexis?
Margaret: Would I? *Laughs* I would love to!
