Soon, Hawkeye and Gordon got their trains onto Sherman Hill. They were still close to each other.

Gordon: *On the radio* Hey, can anypony hear me?
Orion: I hear you. What's up?
Gordon: I'm racing Hawkeye. There is no way he is going to beat me.
Orion: Wanna bet?
Gordon: toi gotta be kidding. I am winning the race, and I am way out in front. I told toi that there is no way Hawkeye will beat me. (Hawkeye is actually winning, but I can't let Orion know that.)
Orion: Pierce is a good engineer. He will find a way to beat toi in the race.
Gordon: Whatever. toi a dit toi wanted to make a wager?
Orion: Ah, why not? Sixty-two dollars says that toi will lose.
Gordon: Sixty-two dollars says you're wrong.
Orion: Deal.
Pete: *On the radio* Gordon, what's this I hear about toi racing Pierce?
Gordon: Oh, umm-
Pete: Didn't I tell toi not to race each other?
Gordon: toi did, but
Pete: But what?!
Gordon: *Turns off radio*

Meanwhile in Hawkeye's engine.

Hawkeye: *Looking at Gordon's train* We are still winning.
Metal Gloss: I just hope he knows about the switch track in front of us.
Hawkeye: What are toi talking about?
Metal Gloss: In two miles, his track will be on our track.
Hawkeye: Ah, I see what toi mean. We better get past that switch before he does. *Makes train go faster*
Gordon: Oh no toi don't. *Makes train go faster*

Soon, both trains were going 70 miles an hour.

Metal Gloss: Is this the fastest we can go?
Hawkeye: Yeah, I wish I could say the same for Gordon.
Gordon: *Driving his train at 80 mph* Haha, I'm catching up!
Hawkeye: Well, so much for winning.
Metal Gloss: I wouldn't let my hopes down just yet.
Hawkeye: Oh, I see what you're talking about.
Gordon: *Sees switch track in front of him* Oh great. *Climbs onto the haut, retour au début of his train* I need to uncouple the engines from the train! *Runs to first freight car*
Metal Gloss: *Watching Gordon*
Hawkeye: What's he doing?
Metal Gloss: toi do not want to know.
Gordon: *Uncouples the first freight car from the train* Wait a minute. *Sees that he is on one freight car being pulled par two diesels* Uh, I thought this freight car I was on was another engine. *Uncouples freight car from the diesels* Yes, I done- *Notices that he is still on the freight car* I'm done for. *Jumps off freight car*

The freight car rolled onto the switch, and was blocking both tracks. A poney in a signal tower switched the points, not knowing about the freight car. It soon derailed.

Metal Gloss: *Sees freight car in front of them*
Hawkeye * Applying brakes, but his train hits the boxcar. His train is not derailed, but the boxcar is on it's side being pushed par the train*
Metal Gloss: Well, I never thought this would happen.
Hawkeye: Me neither. Let's keep going.

Later, they saw the diesels Gordon was driving. They ran out of fuel, and were blocking the line.

Hawkeye: I suppose we should push them out of the way.
Metal: We'll be late.
Hawkeye: Better late than never. *Using train to push the diesels* And away we go.

So the train arrived at Denver while pushing two diesels, and a freight car on it's side.

Hawkeye: And that's my story.
T.P.S Pony: Interesting. *Walks away*
Hawkeye: It was nice meeting you!
T.P.S Pony: Shut up! *Runs away*
Metal Gloss: Something tells me he doesn't like you.
Hawkeye: He does. Give him some time.
