Luckily, his friends are quick to help and Thomas learns the importance of taking things slowly and carefully.

However, when he is sent to a closed-down tunnel to collect trucks, he begins to hear strange noises and becomes convinced that he is being haunted. Duncan's fears get the better of him and he refuses to move, causing chaos and delays for the other engines.
