This is the 50th episode of the television series overall.Sam the Farmer (mentioned deleted scene).Percy cannot help but be pleased as Toby remarks that Thomas is acting as if he had seen a ghost.
Percy, who is now cleaned up and none the worse for his adventure, arrives having heard everything. However, as he makes his excuse, Percy whistles in the distance and allows Thomas to run off, still scared. When Toby asks what happened, Thomas reveals he slept in the goods shed claiming he did not want to intrude as Toby would be sad about Percy. The next morning, Thomas finally returns and meets Toby at the station.
Thomas, terrified, quickly runs off to collect Annie and Clarabel. Thomas is frightened as the shed doors open and reveal what appears to be Percy's ghost. Thomas is unconcerned and tells Toby not to worry.Īfter this, however, a ghostly voice comes from outside demanding to be let in. Toby tells him the line has been cleared, but that he thinks he saw Percy's ghost. Thomas is concerned for Percy but also worries that this will make him late. Toby agrees to help.Īt the sheds, Thomas is preparing to take his evening train, when Toby, pretending to be scared, arrives and tells him that Percy has had an accident. This gives Percy an idea to scare Thomas and asks not to be cleaned until he plays his trick. The signalman arranges to sort out the hazard on the line but suggests Percy be cleaned up as he looks like a ghost.
While Sam the farmer has gone for help, Percy comes down the line and smashes the cart to pieces and the lime completely covers Percy, who runs to the nearest signal box.Īt the signal, Percy meets Toby and his driver explains to the signalman what happened. What Percy does not know is that a broken cart of lime is ahead on the tracks. Percy enjoys running at night and knows exactly where he is despite the dark.
That evening, after his work at the harbour is done, Percy runs light back to the shed. Percy tells his driver that Thomas did not believe in the ghost and Percy's driver explains that it was a story on television. However, Thomas does not believe a word and runs off calling Percy a silly little engine. The bus driver was unharmed.įor more, check out Transit Police Department's website here.Percy is telling Thomas and Toby the story of a ghost train that his driver told him the night before and is afraid to think of it. Steele was brought to Transportation Police Department Headquarters for booking. When that proved unsuccessful, police arrested him on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The cops eventually caught up with Steele and attempted to converse with him. The bus driver then pointed out Steele to some law enforcement officers who started after him. The bus driver, in fear of getting assaulted, got out of the driver's seat and pushed past Steele, exiting the bus.Īt this point, Steele then also exited the bus and began walking away from the bus toward Central Street. MBTA Transit Police report that at this point Steele grabbed a chock block(a block of wood weighing around 5 pounds that is used to secure the tires of the bus when it's not in motion) located near a storage compartment at the front of the bus and took a threatening stance toward the driver.Īrmed with the chock block, Steele once again demanded his bus fare be returned to him. Once the bus pulled over at the next available stop, Steele approached the bus driver and demanded his money back, accusing the driver of driving too slow. A 22-year-old Somerville man, later identified as Wakell Steele, boarded the victim's bus at Davis Square.Īfter the bus proceeded along the route, Steele activated the signal for the bus to stop. Apparently, the bus driver was driving too slowly for the passenger's liking.
