Percy and Jeff returned to the yards in time to see Hawkeye arrive in a freight train with Stylo.

Hawkeye: *Stops tiếp theo to Snowflake's tower*
Stylo: Well it looks like Percy and Jeff just got back from fixing track.
Hawkeye: Let's ask them how it went.
Stylo: I'll do that, bạn go uncouple these engines from the freight cars.
Hawkeye: I did that last time. bạn do it!
Jeff: *Uncouples the engines from the freight cars with his magic*
Hawkeye & Stylo: *Looking at Jeff*
Jeff: Neither of bạn wanted to do it, so I decided to help you.
Stylo: Thanks.
Hawkeye: Where did bạn and Percy go to today?
Percy: Archer Hill.
Stylo: You've been going there a lot lately.
Jeff: Those tracks need lots of repair, bạn know.
Percy: Especially with heavy trains travelling on them.
Pete: *Arrives* Percy, Jeff. May I talk to bạn for a minute?
Percy: Sure.
Hawkeye: Meanwhile, we should di chuyển these engines now that they're uncoupled from the train. *Moves forward*
Jeff: More? Do bạn know how many?
Pete: No. All I know is that you'll be working on those tracks until the end of the month.
Percy: We'll do our best though. Right Jeff?
Jeff: Yes.
Pete: Good spirits. Get to work.
Jeff: Yes sir.

As Percy mentioned earlier, heavy trains can put the tracks in poor condition. Some of the rails on Archer đồi núi, hill were too bendy. They had to be replaced.

Jeff: *Looking at the tracks* This is bad. Percy, go tell the signal ngựa con, ngựa, pony about this. He must make sure that any switch on the main line is not set to this track.
Percy: bạn could use your magic to fix this.
Jeff: Magic can fix it yes, but it can't be fixed properly. The last unicorn that tried it accidentally made a rail disappear.
Percy: Oh.
Jeff: Now go tell the signal pony. I'm going to remove the bad rails while we wait for the rest of the crew to arrive.
Percy: *Goes to the signal tower*

But when Percy got there, it was empty.

Percy: This can't be! *Flies to Jeff*
Jeff: *Gets two bad rails off with his magic, and puts them in the back of the truck*
Percy: *Returns* No one is in the signal tower.
Jeff: What? That can't be good. Percy, bạn operate that tower.
Percy: But I don't know what to do.
Jeff: It's easy. Set the points away from this track so that no trains will get derailed here.
Percy: Okay, I'll try. *Flies back to the tower*

Percy set the points to the tiếp theo track, on two switches. They were on different sides of the bad section. No train would go on it until it was completely fixed.
