Terence Takes the Train

Terence Takes the Train is a magazine story.

Plot
One day, Terence is working near the quarry. He is pleased when Toby comes by his site and tells him how impressed he is to know an engine without wheels. Toby clarifies that he does have wheels; they are just hidden by his cowcatchers and sideplates.

Toby and Terence become good friends but Terence complains about having to keep crossing over the bumpy rails while working. Toby reminds Terence that the rails help the engines get where they need to go but Terence just scoffs as he has caterpillar tracks.

Terence's job at the quarry is soon finished and he now has another assignment on the other side of the island. Due to Terence's speed and the distance, Terence can not leave until early the next day. Toby gets an idea and asks the stationmaster about it. He agrees and soon Terence is loaded onto a flatbed which is coupled behind Henrietta. Toby is able to get Terence to his job site in record time and Terence admits rails can be very useful.
