The Sad Tale of Henry the Engine

Title appears: THE SAD TALE OF HENRY THE ENGINE

NARRATOR: Once upon a time, on the Island of Sodor, there was a train named Henry. Henry was a freight train, and he pulled all kinds of important materials around. But then one day, Sir Topham Hatt had an idea.

Sir Topham Hatt is shown holding a chart that says "PRECISION SCHEDULED RAILROADING".

NARRATOR: And suddenly, Henry got longer, and longer, and longer.

Henry is seen being attached to multiple train carts, including natural gas, and is seen moving with it until he stops.

NARRATOR: Henry got so long, when he rested, he started getting in people's way, and drivers got very angry at him.

"What's the fucking hold up, train?" said the driver. A little old lady shouted, "Get fucked!"

Henry sighs.

NARRATOR: A little girl crawled underneath Henry on her way to school.

Steam comes out of Henry when she crawls underneath him.

"Oooh, that tickles," said Henry. "I fucking hate you, train!" said the little girl.

Henry looks annoyed.

NARRATOR: A fire engine pleaded with him to move.

"I can't move," said Henry. "I don't have any room!"

NARRATOR: So they both just sat there, and watched the children's hospital burn.

A whistle is heard while the children's hospital is seen engulfed in flames.

NARRATOR: But Henry was told he was much more efficient now, which is another way of saying profitable, and 9 miles long.

Henry is seen carrying multiple train carts of natural gas, filling the entire land space on the screen.

NARRATOR: He carried all sorts of things people needed, like medical bandages, corn, vinyl chloride, fireworks, question mark, question mark, hand grenades, question mark, plugged-in space heaters, and all sorts of zoo animals.

Henry is seen talking with Sir Topham Hatt in the railway station.

"What's liquified natural gas, and why am I pulling 22 cars full of it?", Henry asked. "Never you mind," said Sir Topham Hatt. "I mapped out this whole route out at home."

"That's a weird thing to do, and I don't really know how to respond to it," said Henry. "Just mind your business, like a good little rolling death machine," Sir Topham Hatt said.

"Sorry, I'm a WHAT?!", asked Henry.

Henry is seen climbing up the hill with difficulty.

NARRATOR: Then, one day, a wheel on one of Henry's tank cars started overheating. His engineer hadn't had a chance to inspect it in months. Henry was getting worried.

"It seems my caboose is loose! I can't drive with a loose caboose," Henry told the driver, but it was too late. "OH SHIT." said Henry.

NARRATOR: Henry the Freight Train became Henry the Bomb Train.

Henry falls down the hill and his caboose explodes, derailing the train and injuring Henry in the process of exporting the goods to a nearby town. All of the tank cars are scattered around the town, leaked.

"Oh well," thought Henry. "It could be worse, At least my tankers didn't expl-"

All of the tank cars with liquified natural gas explode, destroying the town.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, in the other side of the island...

Thomas, while strolling down the windmill, notices a huge explosion.

"Oh dear," said Thomas.

NARRATOR: The explosion obliterated a significant part of the Island of Sodor.

Henry is seen caught in the fires of the now-obliterated town.

NARRATOR: Henry was so sad. Sir Topham Hatt had blood on his hands, but he didn't care. It wasn't his blood, and he could just wipe it off with all his new money.

A clip of the original Thomas the Tank Engine episode "The Sad Story of Henry" is seen where Henry is built a wall around his tunnel.

NARRATOR: As for Henry, he was taken out of commission and put in a tunnel. But as trains can't die, he just had to suffer forever, and ever. But I think he deserved his punishment, don't you?
