Harold's Good Deed

Harold's Good Deed is a magazine story.

Plot
One day, Gordon is racing along the Main Line, proud as always to be the fastest engine. Harold is flying overhead and states to himself that, while Gordon is fast, he is faster.

As Harold moves further ahead, he spies a lorry broken down on the level crossing. Harold knows Gordon is going too fast to stop in time and must warn him. He ends up flying back and shouts at Gordon's driver to stop. The driver does so and Gordon is able to stop just in front of the crossing. The lorry driver is relieved and explains to Gordon's crew and passengers what had happened.

Harold goes off to fetch a mechanic while Gordon's driver calls The Fat Controller who sends James out to take the passengers from the other side of the crossing. Gordon is not happy to have his passenger leave him but knows that there is nothing he can do. When Harold returns, Gordon thanks him for saving him from having an accident and admits flying can be very useful.
