Michelle was eager to get up to speed on the main line - there she could focus on her work and not have Gordon looming over her. That changed very quickly when the big blue engine in question came storming up alongside her, seemingly intent on overtaking her.
The impromptu race took them all the way to Wellsworth. By that point, Gordon was completely wrong-roading, with only two tracks making up the stretch of the main line they were occupying. Either Gordon hadn't thought that far ahead, or he'd expected to overtake Michelle before this point. Whatever the case, Michelle continued to serve much more of a challenge than what he'd expected.
As the two soared by Wellsworth Yard, Emily appeared on the track ahead. She clamped down her brakes and tried to stop, but, in a moment of panic, Gordon took Michelle's moment of hesitation to try and overtake her.
Michelle, with no time to stop, smashed into Gordon's train. The last thing she remembered was hoping as her wheels left the rails that her coaches and passengers wouldn't be too badly injured in the wreck.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5jvtoggbymkbodoe4dljn6lq/bafkreihkyuqsodesvgnuyflv5jks7hgv3aqbr23gv7ykhseim3h3jjxsja)

James settled in front of the express and the charred Electro-Diesel. Armed with Rebecca's confidence, he put his best wheels forward.
The journey was a grueling one. Wind and rain slammed him from all directions, but he struggled on.
At Wellsworth, Cedric shouted from the other platform, cheering him on. Almond whistled his own encouragement as well as James charged at Gordon's Hill.
He wasn't trying to match Gordon's pace. He wasn't trying to set any records.
He just had to make sure he was good enough.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5jvtoggbymkbodoe4dljn6lq/bafkreidumqvt7w2vzdsrd553qp4epmemkkckqh2yiupiihic65cgpahzym)
