Edward's first task is to take a goods train to the top of a steep hill. The other engines tell him that he won't be able to do it, but Edward is determined to prove them wrong. He makes his way slowly up the hill, puffing and panting all the way, but he doesn't give up. When he finally makes it to the top, all the other engines are impressed with his perseverance and hard work.

The next day, Percy tells all the other engines about the trick he played on Thomas, and they all have a good laugh at his expense. But that same night, Percy himself gets a fright when he sees a real ghost in the same tunnel. He races away, terrified, and the other engines don't believe him when he tells them what he saw.
However, the following night, Thomas and Percy both see the ghost together. They realize that it's not a real ghost, but a conductor who was dressed up in a white sheet as part of a practical joke. They all have a good laugh, and Percy learns that it's not always funny to play tricks on others.
