Some Very Fine Passengers

Some Very Fine Passengers is a magazine story.

Plot
James is feeling fed up with having to continuously deal with trucks and begs the stationmaster to pull a passenger train but he is just given more goods. In the sheds that night, he complains to his friends. Duck thinks James is being silly and Gordon knows James thinks he is more important than he really is. James continues to grumble and the stationmaster grows tired of it so he plans to teach James a lesson.

One day, James is told there are passengers waiting for him. James is very pleased and sets off right away. He waits at the platform for Thomas to shunt his coaches. Thomas can not help but giggle as James is coupled to the train. James wonders what is so funny but Thomas brushes it off. Gordon and Duck also see what is going on and laugh too but James ignores them.

James' mood soon changes when he reaches a station where no passengers come out or get on and some peculiar noises come from his train. The stationmaster is curious as to why James had stopped and James soon learns that his passengers are not people, but pigs!
