Anthony was the first pony to drive his train across the modified bridge. His engine still had the smokestack with the bullet in it, and he was hoping it would be fixed soon.

Anthony: *Driving train*
Firepony: Pretty cold today.
Anthony: Yeah, u could say that again. When I woke up at my house, I saw a lot of icicles.
Firepony: u better get rid of them before they fall, and land on somepony.
Anthony: I tried, but they were too high. Get some meer coal into the firebox. We're going into a tunnel.
Firepony: *Shoveling coal into firebox*
Anthony: *Drives train into tunnel* What the...
Firepony: What's up?
Anthony: There's something hanging from the roof.

A banging noise was heard in the tunnel. Then, Anthony's train came out.

Anthony: *Stops train* Whatever that was, it can't be good.
Firepony: *Gets out of engine*
Anthony: *Gets out of engine, and looks around*
Firepony: hallo Anthony!
Anthony: What?
Firepony: If u thought having the smokestack getting shot was bad, come take a look at this.
Anthony: *Walks to the front of his engine, and sees that the smokestack is gone* How in the world of Equestria did that happen?
Firepony: That banging noise must've meant that something u saw hanging from the tunnel's roof hit the smokestack, causing it to fall off.
Anthony: *Sighs* Now what?
Firepony: Well we can't just leave this train here.
Anthony: Alright, let's keep going.

So they tried driving the train without it's smokestack, but the journey was not easy.

Anthony: Too much smoke is coming out.
Firepony: Well, just keep driving. We can't stop now. *Sees a hollow pipe* Or, maybe we can.
Anthony: What for?
Firepony: I got an idea. Stop the train.
Anthony: *Stops train*
Firepony: *Gets out to get hollow pipe*
Anthony: *Follows Firepony* What is that?
Firepony: It's a hollow pipe. We'll put this on our engine where the smokestack was, and that'll control the smoke.
Anthony: That's stupid. Everypony is going to laugh at me when they see my engine like that.
Firepony: Well it's either that, of u get fired for leaving a train on the mainline.
Anthony: Okay, we'll do it.

Some cables were used to keep the pipe in place, and it worked. However, when Anthony returned his engine to the yards in Ogden, everypony started to make fun of him.

Donut: *Laughing* When u told us that a new smokestack was going to be put on your engine, we didn't think it would be a hollow pipe!
Anthony: Shut up.
Roger: Oh, I got a perfect song for this very occasion. *Sings* Anthony zei again, and again, his engine's new smokestack would grab our interest. He went through a tunnel, and lost the smokestack. Now the new smokestack is a hollow pipe!
Everypony: *Laughing*
Anthony: *Not amused* Great song Roger. Really great. *Walks away*

volgende day, he was looking over the engine with Michael.

Michael: Okay. Here's what we're going to do. I figured, while we get a new smokestack onto your engine, we'd make a few other upgrades to it.
Anthony: What kind of upgrades?
Michael: A bigger firebox, bigger drive wheels, and maybe even a bigger tender. Your engine will have meer power, meer speed, and meer capacity for fuel.
Anthony: Okay. Let's do it.

So it was arranged. Anthony's engine was taken to a koop miles away, and a few weeks later, it came back with all the upgrades Michael zei it was going to have. Anthony enjoys driving it, and some of the other ponies are jealous.

Nikki: *Sitting on bench with Roger*
Anthony: *Driving past in his engine with a passenger train*
Roger: There he goes again.
Nikki: His engine just ain't the same like it used to be. I wish I could drive it, but Michael won't let me.
Roger: Same here. Maybe we should ask him to upgrade all the engines that we drive.
