Jeff went into Pete's office at the station.

Jeff: আপনি wanted to see me sir?
Pete: Yes. Let me ask আপনি a question. What do আপনি know about the Lehigh Valley Railroad?
Jeff: Not much. All I know about it is that it's a short railway in the east coast. Why are আপনি asking me about it?
Pete: There's a shortage of track repairers in Neigh Jersey. You'll be taking an airplane from this city into Jersey City. From there, a stallion with a sign of both the Union Pacific, and Lehigh Valley logo will be there waiting for you.
Jeff: I see. When do I go?
Pete: Right now. *Gives Jeff a fifty dollar bill* Hopefully, General Grant will help আপনি buy your ticket at the airport.
Jeff: He better. If he doesn't, I may need help from the president.
Pete: Alright, good luck Jeff.
Jeff: Thank আপনি sir. I will not let আপনি down. *Leaves*
Pete: *Hears his phone ring* I wonder who that could be. *Answers the phone* Hello?
Michael: Pete? Can আপনি help me out?
Pete: What is it?
Michael: I need an extra টাট্টু over here to repair track.
Pete: I'm sorry Mike, I'm short on employees as well.
Michael: What about Jeff?
Pete: The Lehigh Valley is borrowing him.
Michael: That railroad is all the way in the east coast আপনি bastard. Why would আপনি send him all the way out there?!
Pete: The boss on that railway had a short temper.
Michael: Yeah? Well Roger, Anthony, and Donut will have short tempers if I don't get another টাট্টু to help repair the track.
Pete: Alright, I'll send Percy over, but আপনি owe me big time.
Michael: Whatever আপনি say.

Meanwhile, Jeffery arrived at the airport in a taxi.

Taxi Pony: *Stops at the airport* That'll be $2.50
Jeff: *Gives the taxi টাট্টু $2.50* Have a good day. *Gets out of the cab*
Taxi Pony: That unicorn must be fucked up in the head. Nopony has ever ব্যক্ত that to me before. *Drives away*
Jeff: *Enters the airport* One ticket to Newark Airport, Jersey City.
Airport Pony: আপনি got it. *Gives Jeff a ticket* Enjoy your flight.
Jeff: Thanks. *Walks to his airplane*

As for Hawkeye, Stylo, and Gordon? The three of them were waiting for a freight train in the yards. They were going to push the cars from the train down the hump in four switchers.

Gordon: I'm glad Jeff is gone.
Stylo: How could আপনি say that?
Hawkeye: He's the best টাট্টু we have for repairing track, and locomotives.
Gordon: Yeah, well he won't be blocking our line with track repairs.
Stylo: আপনি do realize that repairing track is important.
Gordon: Not as important as getting to your destination on time.
Pete: *Talking in the loudspeaker* Attention, Percy Sigma, and Gordon Suite, প্রতিবেদন to my office.
Gordon: Ha! I bet I'm gonna get a vacation, and Percy will be fired.

However, that was the complete opposite of what he was expecting.

Pete: *Looking at Gordon, and Percy* Now আপনি two are most likely wondering why I called আপনি down here.
Gordon: Nope. I know why we're here.
Pete: I'm sure আপনি don't, so fuck you.
Percy: *Snickering*
Gordon: আপনি got something to say?
Percy: No.
Pete: The reason I called আপনি down here was because the Southern Pacific needs another টাট্টু to help repair track. That's where আপনি come in Percy. আপনি will take the পরবর্তি train to Ogden, and help out until Michael gets আরো ponies.
Gordon: And, what does this have to do with me?
Pete: Since Percy, and Jeff will not be here, I need you, and Orion to do their work.
Gordon: Oh no! I will not repair track. It's unnecessary, and causes too many delays.
Pete: Those delays will save your life. Now get going আপনি two.

Percy walked onto the station platform, and Gordon followed. Just then, Metal Gloss arrived in a passenger train.

Percy: Metal Gloss!
Metal Gloss: What?
Percy: Is this train heading to Ogden?
Metal Gloss: It sure is. Climb aboard.
Percy: *Gets into the cab পরবর্তি to Metal Gloss*
Gordon: Where's Orion?
Metal Gloss: He's coming back here with a freight train from Dallas.
Gordon: Alright. Pete wants me, and him to repair track while Percy, and Jeff are away.
Metal Gloss: Where did Jeff go?
Gordon: Neigh Jersey. Pete says he sent him to work on the Lehigh Valley for a few days.

So far, Jeff was on an airplane, currently flying over the state of Kansas. He was looking অগ্রবর্তী to working on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, but was also nervous about it.
