Plot
The engines are excited to see the Northern Lights with Harold the Helicopter.

This episode was alright. I like the mess how one cross over the bridge can all add up to disaster but I think the episode can work without the northern lights and that maybe you could make that into a different episode kinda like 'The Paint Problem', probably make a whole plot about Harold missing out because of extra work and the engines trying to do it for him so he wouldn't miss out. Also since we now know that Sodor is still a British isle in this iteration of the show, despite the American rail infrastructure, it is possible to see the northern lights there as there had been some spottings of them around the Isle of Man, Sodor neighbouring island in the books so although it may've been a fluke on the writers part, nice bit of logic for the show.
