Plot
One day Gordon is teasing Thomas, calling him a "backward engine" after having seen Thomas moving trucks across the yard going backward. Later on while pulling the express Gordon has to stop due to a fallen tree. Gordon's driver tells him that he would have to backup towards the station if the tree could not be moved. Meanwhile his fireman goes for help. Luckily for Gordon, Terence the Tractor who has met with Gordon's fireman, comes to his rescue, moving the tree. That night in the sheds, Gordon tells Thomas that going backwards - as well as going forwards - is very helpful.
