Episode Overview

The Cannonball pulls into the Shady Rest with a "For Sale" sign, accompanied by Homer Bedloe. The train is up for auction, and the first offer comes from a junk dealer looking to scrap it. Bedloe reveals that the sale is beyond his control, as the C & FW Railroad has been acquired by the H. Greene Company. Determined to save the train, the valley residents rally to gather funds but soon learn the junk dealer's bid exceeds their budget. Uncle Joe and Sam venture to Chicago to meet H. Greene, only to find H. Greene is actually Henrietta Greene. Upon realizing the Cannonball's significance to the community, she cancels the sale.
