Bossiness Doesn't Pay

**Bossiness Doesn't Pay** is the 2nd episode of Season 1 of the series.

## Sypnosis

Benjamin gives Biff a taste of his own medicine after being fed up with his bossy attitude.

## Plot

The Conrail Shared Assets serves parts of New Jersey, Southeast Pennsylvania, and Detroit, Michigan. The locomotives supplied by both CSX and NS come in many shapes and sizes, with the largest ones being the SD40-2s and SD45-2s. Biff, being the largest of the locomotives on the Conrail Shared Assets, tends to act vain and nitpicky, and tends to look down on smaller locomotives. This came to be as Benjamin was sorting out Biff's train while the former was being bombarded with Biff's bossy attitude. After Benjamin finishes setting up Biff's train, he vows to pay him out as Biff leaves.

Later, Benjamin, having enough of Biff's attitude, holds a meeting to discuss on how he can get back at him. An NS GP40-2 suggests to sabotage Biff, which Benjamin declines. Josh then suggests adding additional cars to make Biff's train heavy and Benjamin accepts, despite a CSX GP40-2 warning Ben against it. Later the next day, Biff was assigned on a train to New Jersey, unaware about Ben's plot. Once Biff arrived, a CSX GP38-2 notices additional cars on the rear of Biff's train. It was at this moment Biff realizes that Ben added the additional cars to his train, especially when he arrives late at another yard, where the yardmaster demanded to know why Biff was late.

Later that night, Benjamin gloats about Biff getting the taste of his own medicine. Biff later arrives and tries to confront Ben, but Ben takes off, leading Biff to chase after him, as Bridget and the same CSX GP40-2 from earlier watch. Benjamin manages to lose Biff by switching onto a siding without Biff even noticing, and later returns to the yard.

**Post-Credits Scene:** Biff is still on the search for Benjamin until he meets Leonard. Leonard offers Biff to assist him in sabotaging Ben by greasing the rails till he stalls, but Biff declines and storms off.
