Ten dakika after Metal Gloss left the station, Roger was about to arrive. He did his best to drive the train, but nopony trusted him.

Vandal Pony: He's almost here, get that wooden plank on the tracks now.
Vandal gppony, pony 2: *Puts wooden plank on tracks near station*
Roger: *Applies brakes, then hits wooden plank*

One end of the plank hit the bottom of the platform, and Roger's engine derailed.

Michael: *Runs out of station to see what happened*
Roger: *Walks out of engine*
Vandals: *Runs away*
Nikki: *Walks over to train*
Michael: No zaidi work for wewe today.
Roger: What's that supposed to mean?
Michael: wewe are suspended from work until tomorrow.
Roger: It's not my fault somepony put a wooden plank on the tracks making my train derail.
Michael: Just get out of here.
Roger: *Runs away*
Michael: Ugh! Now this train has to get to Cheyenne, but nopony can drive it.
Nikki: What about me?
Michael: Can wewe do it?
Nikki: I'll do my best.

Nikki went to the yards to get some cranes. She brought them to the train, and got the diesels back on the tracks. Both of them broke down, so Nikki decided to use engine 4449.

Vandals: *Walking back to train*
Vandal gppony, pony 2: Haha, we got him suspended.
Vandal Pony: Too bad he wasn't fired though. That would have been great.
Vandal gppony, pony 2: Yeah, that would've been great.
Nikki: *Brings train to station, then walks out, and goes to vandals* I'm not happy with what you've done! wewe got Roger suspended due to wewe putting a wooden plank on the tracks.
Vandal gppony, pony 2: It's not our fault.
Vandal Pony: He should've stopped sooner.
Nikki: Don't screw with me. wewe knew he couldn't stop on time with where wewe put that plank. Now I'm going to finish the job for him. *Gets back to train*
Vandal Pony: Let's get out of here.

As Nikki started to drive the train, both vandals left the station.

Half of the way to Cheyenne, Nikki had to drive uphill. Her engine's wheels were slipping due to the heavy load on her train.

Nikki: *Stops train at station*
Conductor: *Walks up to Nikki* Saw your engine slipping as we were heading uphill.
Nikki: Yeah, I'll handle it.
Conductor: Well, should we get another engine?
Nikki: The rest of the way is downhill.
Conductor: If wewe say so. All aboard. *Gets back in train*
Nikki: *Blows whistle twice, and drives out of station*

They started to go downhill, but things got worse. One of the wheels on the last car came off, and the back of the car was dragging itself along the tracks.

Nikki: *Stops train*
Conductor: *Comes out of train, and looks at Nikki* That's it. We need a bus to get those passengers to Cheyenne.
Nikki: No! I'm not letting some idiot bus driver take my passengers away. We'll get there. *Drives train*

At Cheyenne, Gordon was waiting at the station for Nikki to arrive. He had to take the passengers into St. Foalis.

Nikki: *Almost at the station* You're almost there. The last car Lost a wheel, and now it's making the trip difficult, but you're almost there. Don't let those idiots at the bus company win. *Stops train at station* Made it! Yeehaw! *Blows whistle*
Gordon: *Staring at Nikki* Geez, what a drama queen.
Passengers: *Getting onto Gordon's train*
Nikki: *Jumps out of engine* I need a drink.
Pete: wewe got this train all the way here while missing one wheel on your train?
Nikki: Well, not all the way, but I did get here with a missing wheel.
Pete: If only my railway had brave engineers like you.

Pete called Michael, and told him about how Nikki got her train to Cheyenne on time, with a damaged coach.

Nikki was rewarded $35,000, and got a four and a half mwezi vacation.
