The engines where all in the sheds one night, however Kenta seemed upset.
"What's the matter Kenta? Saw Flandre Scarlet by any chance?" teased Hiroto.
"Is not tha-Oh I see how it is, you galloping kamaboko!" said Kenta.
"Shhh! No arguing!" hushed Shiro, "Besides, I want to hear what Kenta has to say."
"No its nothing Shiro, just something on my mind." said Kenta.
"C'mon Kenta, just say what's on your mind." replied Shiro.
Now the whole shed was interested in what Kenta had to say.
"Oh its just these barely finished sidings, they start work on a siding, just as they finish the set of points, they stop. Its unsafe and lazy if you ask me." said Kenta.
"Oh, I'm sure they exist for a reason." replied Shiro.
The next day, Shiro saw the Scarlet Controller making changes to the timetable and he took the chance to ask her a question.
"Excuse me sir!" said Shiro.
The Scarlet Controller's charisma nearly broke, "God, you engines scare me sometimes. What is it Shiro?"
"Sir, Kenta complains about unfinished sidings and it got me curious."
"Unfinished sidings? Oh! Those must be the trap points Nitori was telling me about."
"Sir? What exactly are trap points?" asked Shiro.
"Those trap points got installed not only because of that accident at the Hakurei Shrine and the extra money we got from the shrine's ticket sales, but also because of runaway trains. You see Shiro, trap points derail trains that are running away and become dangerous to other engines on that same line." answered the Scarlet Controller.
"But aren't we supposed to stop the runaways, not cause a mess?"
"Nitori and the two 'Chans' want our railway to be more safe, so they say its better to have a mess than have a funeral. Whatever that means, for me it means no blood, for Yukari it means no food, but whatever! The money is nice anyway."
"Sir, thank you for telling me about them." said Shiro.
"Okay Shiro, See you later." and the Scarlet Controller left to have some tea.
"Trap points! Isn't the point to keep the trains on the rails? Not off them?!" said Kenta.
"But the Scarlet Controller told me that they keep humans and youkai from dying in railway accidents!" Shiro tried explaining about the trap points to Kenta, again.
"Rubbish! If they want to derail the trains, they should just let the onis beat the tracks with their kanabos. Trap points indeed!" Kenta then left to pick up his next train.
"I think Kenta is tempting fate." said Shiro's driver.
Shiro could do nothing but to agree. The next morning, the firelighter came to light Kenta's fire. It was a human doing it and wasn't familiar with how an engine works besides requiring a fire to work. The human slipped on some ash and tried to grab something to regain balance. The human fell down on the footplate on his bum, but after accidentally touching Kenta's regulator. The firelighter left to start the next engine, who at the time was only Ahiru. Ahiru was feeling his boiler start to warm before seeing Kenta move slightly.
"Watch out Kenta! Your beginning to move!" he called out.
"Oh gods!" cried Kenta, "I really I'm moving!"
Kenta continued to roll down the rails. Luckily, the turntable was set in his direction and he moved onto the turntable, slowly gaining speed.
"Help! Help!" yelled Kenta as he moved out of the shed yards.
Kenta had steam, but couldn't whistle, he tried to jerk around his whistling mechanism, but it was no good. He soon heard Akemi's whistle, he was coming down the line with a goods train.
"Look out Akemi! I've got no crew!" he screeched.
However, before Kenta could get in front of Akemi's train, he suddenly turned a different direction and an audible thud was heard, he left the rails and ended up on the ground of all things, he shortly stopped after hitting the dirt.
"Thank goodness, I've stopped!" he said, relieved.
Some railway workers came to see what had happened. The breakdown train was called to rerail Kenta. His crew came to see him, having heard of yesterday's conversation between Kenta and Shiro.
"Now do you see the importance of trap points?" said his driver.
Kenta didn't say anything, he just looked down at his buffers in remorse. After that, Kenta doesn't complain of "Unfinished sidings" anymore and possibly forever more.
