Down The Mine RS-US Remake

One day, Thomas is waiting at the junction when Gordon, who is in disgrace after causing trouble and falling into a ditch, pulls in with some freight cars. As soon as Gordon stops, Thomas cracks a joke about Gordons recent accident. Before Gordon can respond, Thomas leaves with his coaches. Annie and Clarabel are shocked at Thomas behavior and scold him for it, but Thomas doesnt care a bit. Thomas is pleased with his clever joke and runs off to go to the lead mine near Troyreck. Long ago, the mine was made by miners who dug for lead and made tunnels under the ground. The roofs of the tunnels are strong enough to hold up cars but not the weight of engines. At the points, there is a board warning engines not to enter the area. It reads: DANGER, Engines Must Not Pass This Board! Thomas had often tried to pass the board, but had always failed. This time however, he made a plan. When Thomas fireman leaves the cab to throw the switch, Thomas bumps the cars fiercely and jerks his driver off the footplate, allowing him to pass the board and follow the cars into the siding. Then he moves over the unsafe rails which collapse and leave him teetering into a chasm, and feeling very silly. Then Sir Topham Hatt arrives, having seen everything. After telling Thomas off for his naughtiness, he begins to think about how to get Thomas out. A crane would be too heavy for the ground to support, so he decides to call in Gordon to pull Thomas out. Thomas feels uneasy about this, thinking that Gordon may still be cross with him. Shortly after being fitted with a winch attached to his buffer beam, Gordon heads to the rescue and surprisingly laughs at the situation. Arriving at the mine, Gordon promises to get Thomas out in a couple of puffs. A long cable is fastened between the two engines and after a lot of hard work and pulling, Gordon is able to finally get Thomas out of the mine. Thomas apologizes for his earlier cheekiness, Gordon accepts his apology and tells Thomas he found his joke funny. Now both engines are in disgrace, so they both agree to form an alliance and help each other in future. With that, the two engines are coupled together and head back to the sheds.
