Plot

Gordon is planning to laugh at a bricked-up Henry as he passes with the Express, but before he can his safety valve bursts. When Edward is unable to move the train, Henry is led out to pull the train. The two get the train home, and on the way home help Gordon back. Henry is rewarded with a new coat of paint, and now knows that he doesn't have to run into a tunnel to keep his paint dry.
