Transcript
Narrator: Salty the Dockside Diesel has worked at Brendam Docks for many years. He loves to work there, and he's very good at keeping the trucks in order. But Salty hadn't had much experience with coaches.

One day, the wind blew across the island. There was an old tree standing by the line on Edward's branch line. The wind blew so hard that the tree fell over and onto the tracks, just as Edward was approaching it.

Edward: Bust my buffers!

(Edward applies his brakes, but can't stop in time and ends up crashing into the tree)

Narrator: No one was hurt, but Edward's front was badly damaged. Rocky soon arrived to help clear the mess. Sir Topham Hatt arrived as well.

Sir Topham Hatt: Edward, you will have to go to the steamworks to get your front mended.

Edward: Yes, sir, but what about the trains on my branch line? BoCo can't handle them all by himself.

Sir Topham Hatt: I'll have to see which engines are able to help out.

Narrator: Sir Topham Hatt checked the timetable to see who would be able to help out until Edward was repaired.

Sir Topham Hatt: Hmm...

Narrator: Then, he went straight to Brendam Docks.

Sir Topham Hatt: Hello, Salty and Porter. I need one of you to help out on this branch line for a few days while Edward is being repaired.

Porter: What happened to Edward?

Sir Topham Hatt: He hit a tree that fell on his line, and it damaged his front. So now I need an engine to help pull passenger trains on his branch line until he's repaired.

Salty: I'll do it, Captain! I'm sure the passengers will be happy that I'm taking them.

Sir Topham Hatt: Very well, Salty. A passenger train is due to leave here very soon, so you better collect some coaches now.
