Goofs

 * Stephen has his old, black funnel.
 * Gordon should have had the right of way on the mainline. Stephen should have been switched to another line to let Gordon pass.
 * Stephen's trucks swap places during his journey.
 * At some point, Stephen could've easily broken something, especially when Spencer was pushing him.
 * Stephen's wheels should've very well been grinded down when he was braking as long and as hard as he did, as his wheels are mostly made of wood (save for the rimming, which is most likely made of steel). They very well could have also caught fire.
