Watch Out, Gordon!

Watch Out, Gordon! is a magazine story.

Plot
Gordon was in a foul mood. It was time for Diesel's weekly clean and it is Gordon's turn to do his jobs, including taking a goods train. Gordon wanted to get the job over with as quickly as possible, but the signal light stayed red. Impatient Gordon slips his brake and speeds down the track as the driver frantically tries to reapply the brakes, to no avail. Gordon turns a bend and in front of him is a fallen tree. Both his driver and his fireman try to apply the brakes, but they couldn't make Gordon stop in time. The big engine collides with the tree and dents his fender. Gordon was upset, but his driver tells him that it serves him right; rules are there to be obeyed.
