Snow Tracks

"Oh, the indignity! At least, I can see now!"

- Gordon

Snow Tracks is a season 13 episode.

Plot
A snowstorm has covered Sodor, and Thomas and Gordon are given important jobs. While doing his job, Gordon decides to take the shorter, hilly route because he thinks he is special and stronger. He slips several times, spraying Spencer with snow and crashing into some slate cars. While climbing Gordon's Hill, he inadvertently creates a giant snowball that starts to roll back. It derails Thomas, who had been following him. While he's delivering his load, Gordon collects Rocky to put Thomas back on the rails. Then he helps Thomas do his job. That night, Gordon announces that no engine is special and they're all the best.

Goofs

 * No explanation is given as to why Spencer was on Sodor in the first place.
 * In real life, Gordon would have derailed after hitting the slate trucks.
 * Nobody changes the points when Gordon and Thomas are reversing, yet the two engines are going in different directions.
 * Thomas wouldn't have gotten back on the rails any way that Gordon tried to push him out, as the strain of Gordon against the snow would surely derail him instead. Also, Thomas was at least a foot off the ground, so it would be physically impossible for him to simply slide out of the snow, and onto the rails.
 * The snowball shouldn't have been able to divert into Thomas' siding, it should have went straight on and hit Gordon instead.
 * When Gordon leaves to get Rocky, he's dirty. But when he arrives with Rocky, he's clean.
 * Brakevans should have been at the end of Gordon and Thomas's trains.
 * Since when has Gordon's Hill had a siding at the bottom? Also, there was no mention of the points being switched.
