WHy do Thomas and Percy wobble from side to side when they roll down the tracks?

Because they're tank(ed).

A lady was on a train bound to Grand Central Terminal. When the conductor passed her by, she stopped him to ask, "Conductor, does this train stop at Grand Central?"

The conductor, straight faced, replied, "Lady if it doesn't there's gonna be one hell of a wreck."

Why couldn't the steam engine sit down?

 

 

Because it had a tender behind.

A time freight rear-ended a local peddler freight one night, and the ensuing investigation centered on whether or not the crew of the first train had flagged the second train sufficiently.
"Now, then," said the superintendent to the peddler's rear brakeman, "were you flagging your train that night?"

"Yes, sir," he said.

"And were you at least a half-mile from your train?" asked the super.

"Yes, sir," said the brakie.

"And did you attempt to flag the express down?" asked the super.

"Yes, sir, and they went right on past me," the brakie said.

"And did you use a red lantern?" the super asked.

"Yes, sir," the man said. "Of course."

Well, the railroad couldn't decide who was at fault, so the investigation was closed.

"You did just what I asked you to," said the conductor of the local freight to the rear brakeman after the hearing. "You told the truth. But were you nervous at all?"

"You bet!" replied the brakeman. "I was hopin' that guy wouldn't ask me if the lantern was lit!"
