He saw Salty coupled up to the Aquarium cars where he saw a shark and a octopus he asked where are they going and he can't wait to tell Percy about it. They moved a little when Henry rushed by he was in a hurry. Thomas just said to Salty that maybe he is going back to the station there might be something to do there. Percy puff pass Thomas and he tries to tell him about the special cargo Salty has but was in a hurry and puff quickly to quickly and looked at the shark which surprised him and went on quickly bumping into Henry! Henry was waiting for Harvey to cross. Then Henry felt something pushing him and warns Harvey to get out. Harvey went full steam but Henry hits the freight cars carrying aquarium tanks. CRASH! Harvey didn't have time to break and went full steam towards James and crashes which startled Cranky letting go the crates of seaweed. It was a terrible mess.
