Down The Mine is the 25th episode of the 1st Season.
Summary[]
Thomas makes rude comment about Gordon's accident by referring to a "Funny, musty sort of smell" which can only be "ditch water!". Gordon is cross about being reminded about the accident, but doesn't get a chance to answer. Still as puffed up as ever, decides to run past a DANGER board when sent to collect trucks at a mine. He knocks his Driver and Fireman off the footplate and once past the board, the ground opens up beneath him and he ends up falling down into the mine shaft. Sir Topham Hatt organises for Gordon to come to his aid and pulls him back onto the rails again. Both engines are now in disgrace, and find a common bond in their dilemmas. They decide to form an alliance, and help one another in future.
