- “So, without further ado, the Chugger of the Year is...”
- ―Mayor Pullman announcing the Chugger of the Year
Chugger of the Year is the twenty-second episode of the second season.
Plot
Koko finds out about the Chugger of the Year reward and immediately wants it. Mayor Pullman brings a boy named Denzil who wants to chuggerspot with Hodge. He goes around writing about the different trains. Koko tries to be really useful in front of the mayor but just ends up causing trouble for Speedy, who then has to tidy up. Denzil wants an old horn that Speedy was going to recycle. When Koko drops the trophy and Hodge breaks it, Speedy comes up with the idea of using Denzil's horn as a trophy.
When the horn is refurbished, Koko suddenly realizes that she shouldn't be chugger of the year. Speedy should; she is upset and believes that the right chugger won't be getting the award. Later, as Mayor Pullman presents the award, it turns out the boy, Denzil, is her nephew, who was secretly marking the trains. She stated, "I knew you would all be on your best behavior around me but would be yourselves around Denzil." The award is given to Speedy, the new Chugger of the Year!
