== Plot: ==
Taylor is tired from all of the work, and has been wearing himself out. Ken tries to encourage him, but it doesn't work. One night, Taylor and Ken were in the sheds with everyone else, with Taylor venting on how overworked he's been. Matt tries to rudely shut him up, and nearly starts an argument with Paul, but Andy stops them. The next morning, Taylor and Ken deliver a train to Hazard, to find a new worker waiting for them, which is Eddie. He rushes them to hurry up, and then they deliver him back to Mountain Top yard. Eddie storms off to the shed, and Mr. McGuire tells Taylor and Ken that he got 3 new locomotives to come and help, with the other 2 arriving later that afternoon. That afternoon, Vivian was helping Eddie on switching, much to the latter's dismay. Vivian tells him that he put the cars on the wrong track, and Eddie yells at her, which makes her feel bad. Billy arrives back with the Mountaineer, and tells Eddie off. He then goes to the workshop to get fueled with more oil, when he hears a distant horn. 2 new locomotives arrive pulling an empty coal train, and Billy goes to greet them. The engines are Marie and Callie. They have to wait for a bit due to a congestion. A few minutes later, Eddie pulls out the woodchip hoppers, and Marie and Callie pull the train into the yard, with Marie's engine sputtering a couple times. Billy asks if she's alright, to which she says she's fine. That evening, Billy goes to ask Callie why Marie doesn't wanna go to the workshop. Callie reveals that Marie has been long threatened that she will be scrapped if the proper maintenance doesn't pull through, due to sketchy maintenance from Callie and Marie's previous railroad. That afternoon, Marie goes to deliver the mountain local. When she was about to deliver the coal hoppers, her engine sputters out and she can't start it back up. Back at the yard, Callie, Ken, and Taylor were chatting when Vivian came to tell them about Marie's emergency. Taylor goes to rescue Marie, and delivers her back to the workshop, and gets congratulated by Ken and Callie. 2 weeks later, Marie rolls out of the shops looking fresh new. Callie tells her she has a manifest to deliver, and she goes to ask Ken and Taylor to help, with her wanting Taylor more. She goes to the sheds, and Taylor says he can help. Meanwhile with Eddie, he was switching at the coal mine as a punishment and gets told off by the coal mine yardmaster.
