Summary

Gordon was telling Salty about how it wasn't dignified for him to pull freight cars. That night Sir Top Ham Hatt sent Thomas, Percy, Henry and Gordon to take freight cars from the docks. Latter after Gordon left the signal man didn't know that he left the switch pointing to the branch line, but when he realized it was to late.

There were signs that said "Go Slow", but Gordon didn't listen to them. He soon slid off the rails and rolled across a field and stopped in front of a scarecrow. Sir Top Ham Hatt came, he was up happy with Gordon. When Gordon was fixed up he was back working at the dock. Thomas told Gordon that everyone makes mistakes, and Gordon said he was to big for his buffers.

My Own Thoughts

It was funny that Gordon stopped in front of the scarecrow for no good reason, but it was odd that Sir Top Ham Hatt never told Gordon were to take the cars.
