Later, at the end of the line, Diesel leaves his coaches and readies for his next train. He picks up a line of trucks for a slow good trains at each station. Diesel' mood is worsened due to the hate of slow good trains. Although the trucks start off behaving well, Diesel Is so rough with them that they end up being determined to pay him back as he starts to Climb up Obelix's Hill, Diesel is supposed to stop and have his brakes pinned down. Diesel who had an accident with trucks Before, should remember this, but forgets as he is too busy thinking of what he will say to Riki next time they meet. Seeing their chance, the trucks push Diesel down the hill. Unable to stop, Diesel runs through the station and crashes into a couple of Tar Tankers and derails.
