The Little Engine who Raced Ahead / Philip to the Rescue

S19 E109: The Little Engine who Raced Ahead: Phillip, the little diesel boxcab, arrives at Knapford full of energy and enthusiasm. When Gordon tells Phillip how fast he is, Phillip is determined to prove that he is faster and challenges him to a race. Unfortunately Gordon is resting on the siding when Phillip comes over and when the express engine tells Phillip to "go away", he thinks it's a challenge and races off. When he gets to the other end of the line and Gordon still hasn't overtaken him, Phillip assumes he's won, causing Gordon to show him just how fast he really can be. Phillip is very impressed, but he is not in the least disheartened as he believes he still beat Gordon the first time. Philip to the Rescue:When Philip shows off to James about how many trucks he can pull, James decides to prove that he is the stronger engine by pulling a very long train. Soon disaster strikes as James can't control all of the trucks and comes off the rails breaking through the side of a stone bridge. Philip races to save James and the brave little engine slips under James to rescue his new friend from falling and props him up until help arrives.
