Silvia was puffing through the countryside with a stopping express. She loved seeing people taking her picture with a description within a rail book. She loved the looks of children when she went through stations. (End Video) One day, when she was resting in a sighting, when she heard some chuffing, followed by a rant. "RAILWAYS ARE NO GOOD, TURN THEM INTO ROADS!! RAILWAYS ARE NO GOOD, TURN THEM INTO ROADS!! TEAR THEM UP!! TURN THEM INTO ROADS!!!" Silvia looked over to see a green steam roller rolling down the road.

"Hello," said Silvia, "I'm Silvia. Nice to meet you." The steam roller just scoffed. "Hmph, you're just scrap waiting to be cut up!" Silvia was shocked. "I'm sorry, what?" "Yeah, railways are outdated! You'd be more useful as a tin can!" The steam roller then rolled off, leaving a very steamed Silvia.

At King's Cross, she saw the steam roller again, helping make a road right next to the rails. "That steam roller!!" said Silvia. Just then, Trooper came up, and said, "Oh, you're already met George, huh? He's nothing but trouble."

George rolled down the tar mach well, and said, "Now that's a work of art." Alison came up, and said, "Oh, that's nice. Good to have a race with a car." "Well, the car would win by a long shot," said George, "I can't believe that they would make an engine so ugly." "WELL, I'D NEVER!!" said Alison, and she wheeshed steam at him. George just rolled his eyes.

That night in the round house, the engines all talked with George. "He's a disgrace to steam everywhere!!" said Mallard. "I can't believe that he thinks roads are the future!!" said Steve. "Railways and Roads have always worked together, and nothing will ever change that!" said Duchess. "I highly doubt he will start appreciating rails," said Bertram, "I feel he will just maybe try to stop the trains from running." "How is he gonna do that?" asked Alex sarcastically, "Sit in front of the platforms and stop the trains from leaving the station?" Unknown, George had heard the last comment. "That's not a bad idea," he said to himself.

The next morning, Max, Perry, Norvin and Rattler headed to get the trains ready. But when they got to the station, they saw that the junctions were all blocked. George sat at one of them, saying, "RAILWAYS ARE NO GOOD, TURN THEM INTO ROADS!! RAILWAYS ARE NO GOOD, TURN THEM INTO ROADS!!" The engines all whistled and honked their horns. They argued with George for some time. Soon, there was a loud horn. From the tunnel came Mack. "GEORGE!!!!" cried Max, "YOU NEED TO MOVE!!! MACK IS COMING WITH AN EXPRESS!!!!" "He's got breaks," said George, "he can stop." But Mack couldn't in time. He rammed into George, and onto the platform. George laid on his side, and said, "LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID, YOU OUT-DATED PIECE OF S-" "I'll have you know, that YOU are to blame George!" said the station master, "You deliberately blocked all the engines from entering the station, and you caused many passengers and your driver serious injuries! We will be suing the road company because of your actions, and we will come up with a fitting punishment for you." George looked at his roller, and said nothing more.

Soon, the railway board came and had some stern words for George, and might I had some very, colorful, comments. Soon, George was sent away in disgrace, and the station was worked to be cleaned and repaired. George was turned into a boiler for a house by the rails. He wasn't happy to see the rails still running. But he never learned, so he was sold to Sodor, but that's another story.
