Trucks and carriages are essential to a railway's success, but that not's to say that they don't come without their own set of problems.
Tropes featured in this episode:
- Downer Ending: Although this is the second episode to not use the regular closing music, the circumstances are certainly a
Tear Jerker. - Dumbass Has a Point: Eric's not wrong when he calls the rivalry between James and Douglas pathetic.
- Jerkass: Dominic the Spiteful Brake Van.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Andreas wheeses steam at a passenger who puts out his cigar on a coach's seat. Turns out said passenger was Mr. Burke who used this "assault" to get the MSR director to put Andreas on goods work.
- Recycled Plot: The B plot tells the story of Brake Van in a darker context.
