Summary

One day Salty was working at the Docks, but he wasn't felling well, so Sir Top Ham Hatt ordered a new engine named Porter to do his work while he was being fixed at the Diesel Works. When Salty was away he was worried that Porter would take his job, so he told Den and Dart to hurry up.

When Salty was leaving he was in such a rush that he bashed in to the new shipment of oil. Den and Dart tried to get him to have a wash, but he wanted to get back to the docks. Salty put sand on the rails to stop the oil from making him slip, but when he got to the Docks he ran put of sand and slammed in to party decorations.

Porter raced to the other side of the train and stopped it. Then Sir Top Ham Hatt came and explained that Porter and Salty were going to work together and that Porter wasn't going to take Saltys' job. Then Salty had a wash and Salty and Porter became good friends.

My Own Thoughts

This episode was good, but I never knew that engine's had sand box's, that part was interesting. One error was that there wasn't any explanation why Salty got sick. This episode is uploaded on You Tube, but I don't promote copyrighted material.
