Plot
Thomas has been playing hard with Boxy, certain that his beloved friend/co-worker/toy will last forever. But when Thomas' careless behavior leads to Boxy's being broken beyond repair, Thomas must confront his own behaviour.
Funny that in my review 'Good as New' I said I wanted an episode where Thomas comes to terms with Boxy's death and here is an actual episode. This was a nice episode and I like that Thomas was mourning the loss of his box car and it showed kids that it's OK to do that and to accept the fate that'd happened and keep on moving, even though he's not actually alive. It was also good to show that when something is old and in disrepair it can still be useful as something else as well.
I'm also glad that there was no song, the episode didn't need one.
