- [Narrator] Rusty repairs

the railway that winds

through the mountains

on the island of Sodor.

The little diesel

checks that the tracks,

tunnels, and bridges are

all in good, working order.

(light music)

One day, Rusty was crossing

the old wooden bridge.

(clanking)

There was a big

bump in the track.

Rusty's driver stopped

to check the bridge.

"There are cracks in

the supports," he said.

"Ooh, that could be

dangerous," cried Rusty.

"It might fall down

if it's not repaired."

And they hurried off to

warn the other engines.

(light music)

The engines were waiting for

their coal when Rusty arrived.

"Don't use the old wooden

bridge," said Rusty.

"It's dangerous."

"How would you know?"

whooshed Duncan.

"You're only a diesel."

(hooting)

And he puffed crossly away.

He didn't even

wait for his coal.

(light music)

Rusty hurried down

the mountain to tell

Sir Topham Hatt the bad news.

"Thank you," said

Sir Topham Hatt.

"I'll send engineers to

investigate the bridge.

"Meanwhile, nobody

is to use it."

Rusty's driver put up

a sign, "Line Closed."

The engines had to

travel a different way.

(light music)

Meanwhile, Duncan needed

more coal to get home.

But when he arrived at the

coal bunker, it was empty.

"Bother, I won't get

home without more coal.

"Where's the nearest bunker?"

"On the other side of

the old wooden bridge.

"But you can't cross,

Rusty says it's not safe."

"Rusty always makes things

sound worse than they are."

"I'm sure one trip across

the old wooden bridge

"won't hurt," added his driver.

(puffing)

(light music)

When they got to the junction,

Duncan's driver

removed the sign,

and they set off

towards the bridge.

(light music)

This was a big mistake.

(dramatic music)

Suddenly, Duncan

hissed to a halt.

"I'm out of steam."

He had used up all his coal.

(splashing)

"What's that?" he

asked nervously.

His driver looked out.

The old wooden bridge

was starting to collapse.

(birds tweeting)

"Rusty!" called Skarloey.

"Duncan's gone

across the bridge!"

"I had better check he's all

right," the little diesel said.

(dramatic music)

But the cracks in the

supports were getting larger.

A beam snapped.

Timber pieces splashed

into the water below.

(splashing)

"Help!" whistled Duncan.

"I'm going to fall."

(exciting music)

But Rusty was on the way.

Soon the little diesel

reached the old wooden bridge.

Duncan had never

looked so scared.

Rusty chuffed bravely

onto the bridge.

(dramatic music)

"Careful," gasped Duncan.

(splashing)

(dramatic music)

Soon, they were coupled up.

"Hold on," said Rusty.

"Oh," shouted Duncan.

The little diesel pulled

him off the bridge

just in time.

"Don't use the old wooden

bridge," said Rusty.

"It's dangerous."

(clanking)

(splashing)

Sir Topham Hatt was

cross with Duncan.

"That was very irresponsible."

"Yes sir, sorry sir, and

Rusty, you were very brave."

"Aw thanks."

"Yes Rusty, you are a

really useful engine."

"Thank you, sir."

Rusty felt very reliable, too.
