Season 2 Episode 22: Wrong Road

Today we learn that mainline engines are not allowed to run on branch lines. They are far too heavy for what the tracks can support. Well, that just gave away the plot to this episode. 

Total hottie Edward and Gordon start off a discussion. Gordon is butt hurt about branch line diesels pulling mainline coaches. Edward suggests that Boco would let Gordon pull his coaches. This highly disturbs Gordon. Gordon claims the rule for mainline engines not being on branch lines is because they're vulgar. Gordon then puffs away and Edward follows him to the station.


I love how Gordon is the biggest jag off and Edward just smiles. 

In the evening time, Edward and Gordon pull trains from the station. Gordon leave first with the mainline train and Edward comes in five minutes later with his branch line. Of course tonight, there will be TROUBLE!

A lady on the platform with a obnoxious green hat was saying her goodbyes to her lover boy.  

Thank you darling for the pearl necklace.

Time was near for Gordon to start. The Fireman looked back at the guard van and saw something green waving. Naturally, he assumed it was his flag. Oh no it wasn't, just the floppy obnoxious hat. Gordon sets off leaving his passengers, luggage, and guard at the station.

And Edward looses his eyebrows again.

Gordon backs slowly back in the station once they stopped him down the line. Edward was now running late heads off first. Oh the shenanigans, that will follow.

Gordon looks so lovely in blush.


The Signal Man down the line, doesn't realize that it was not Gordon coming down the line and does not switch the line. Edward heads down the mainline and Gordon goes down the branch. Gordon stops in a siding at the harbor.

The next morning, Bill and Ben arrive at the harbor. They have no trucks waiting for them but, they have Gordon. They begin to tease Gordon. 

You have awful wrinkles!

Gordon pretends that he does not hear the twins as they tease him about never coming down the branch lines. They then insist that it is just an old pile of iron and not Gordon. The twins debate whether to take him to the scrapyard or dump him in the sea. Gordon pleads for them to stop.

Gordon is very expressive this episode.

Boco arrives and Gordon falls in love with him. He finds him a beautiful sight. Boco threatens to take back the trucks he brought for Bill and Ben and makes them behave. 

Gordon calls the twins demons and wants to know Boco's secrets for dealing with them. Gordon also thinks Boco saved his life. Which makes Boco his knight in shining armor. Awe...

Gordon then derails.

I am still wondering what happened to the passengers?
