Mr. Conductor's Big Sleepwalk is the twenty-second episode of the third season and overall the sixty-third episode of Shining Time Station.
Plot
Mr. Conductor accidentally sneezes sleepy sand in his eyes and sleepwalks. Now he can't spread his sleepy sand to help everyone in Indian Valley sleep. Meanwhile, the kids have been granted permission to stay late at the station to see the Midnight Express train arrive, and they are having a burger stand. They hide Mr. Conductor's sleepy sand in a salt shaker to keep anyone else from finding it and taking it. It doesn't go well, when it accidentally makes Schemer, Stacy, Billy and Mr. King all fall asleep as well, when they help themselves to one of the kids' burgers. The kids eventually revive Mr. Conductor, using Billy's words about waking up to the sound of the whistle, and place him near the window as the whistling Midnight Express chugs by. Once awake, Mr. Conductor revives the rest of the station, and goes to help the rest of the Indian Valley sleep. Afterwards, Stacy and Billy take the kids home to sleep, while Schemer and Mr. King opt to pull an all-nighter and watch the sunrise from a café with a view.
