Going Slowly!

"Botheration! My wheels keep slipping on the leaves!"

- Thomas

Going Slowly! is a magazine story.

Plot
Henry and James are trapped by a landslide. Terence the Tractor arrives to help but he doesn't clear the blockage fast enough for James' liking. James tells Terence he'd be faster with proper wheels and not the caterpillar tracks. Terence ignores them and soon both trains are on their way. Later, when the engines are going about their daily tasks, leaves start to fall from the trees. The engines are instructed to go slowly and their wheels only slip of the damp leaves. Terence's caterpillar tracks can grip on leaves easily. Now the engines are sorry for teasing Terence.
