Edward's Accident

Edward's Accident is a magazine story.

Plot
It is another fine day on Sodor and Edward is resting in the yard after making a delivery. He happily whistles to all the engines he sees passing by.

Suddenly, Edward is given a very hard bump! His brakes slip off and his driver is knocked off the footplate. Edward rolls forward and crashes into the back of James' trucks, causing them to derail. The Fat Controller inspects the damage and is disappointed as he thought Edward could handle trucks. Edward persists he was bumped but The Fat Controller sees no other engines behind him and reprimands Edward for lying. Edward's driver is nowhere to be found so a relief drives Edward to The Works, as his buffers are bent. As Edward leaves the yard, he spies Diesel lurking behind a shed.

While he is being serviced, Edward is sure Diesel was the one who bumped him. To his surprise, Edward sees Diesel arrive at The Works the next day to repair his front coupling. The Fat Controller arrives and explains he figured out that Diesel bumped Edward and that Edward's driver had twisted his ankle after falling off the footplate and is currently recovering. Diesel is then told he must stay at The Works for the rest of the week to prevent him from causing more trouble.
