Transcript
Narrator: "Spike walked along the path, thinking about his new friend, RS Mr. Conductor."

Spike: "I hope he's doing better today."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike. Yesterday, RS Mr. Conductor had broken the rules and had gotten into trouble.

The staff was building a railway line beneath the old quarry bridge. The two Mr. Conductors were loading Hoops' cart. Gold dust flew everywhere. Work had never been so much fun.

RS Mr. Conductor felt very proud. He worked hard, been very good and followed all the rules. But he was worried Spitefire wouldn't let him stay.

Rusty McRail was cheerfully clearing garbage. Rusty has a big bucket and a big heart. Sometimes his bucket was too full."

Hoops: "Careful, bumbleman!"

Rusty McRail: "Sorry."

Narrator: "Said Rusty cheerfully.

Spike couldn't wait to get to the old bridge. He knew the staff were working there. He could see how RS Mr. Conductor was doing.

Back at the site, JB King shouted..."

JB King: "Tito, these nickels need moving now."

RS Mr. Conductor: "I'll move it."

Narrator: "Cried RS Mr. Conductor."

GC Mr. Conductor: "RS Mr. Conductor!"

Narrator: "Before anyone could stop him, RS Mr. Conductor raced under the bridge. He was just about to grab a handful when he remembered Spitfire's warning. 'Don't jump in where you don't belong.'"

RS Mr. Conductor: "Tito Swing,"

Narrator: "He said."

RS Mr. Conductor: "This is your job, not mine."

Tito Swing: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Tito said politely."

Harry Cupper: "Well done, RS Mr. Conductor."

Narrator: "Called Harry."

GC Mr. Conductor and Spitfire: "Yes, well done."

Narrator: "Chimed GC Mr. Conductor and Little Strongheart. RS Mr. Conductor beamed proudly.

Later, Rusty was moving under the bridge. He oiler had told him to lower his hat."

Rusty McRail: "I must be careful, I must be careful, I must be careful."

Narrator: "Then there was trouble. Rusty hadn't lowered his hat far enough. It knocked loose the important keystones. The bridge started to crumble.

Spike puffed towards the bridge, unaware of the danger ahead."

RS Mr. Conductor: "Spike!"

Narrator: "RS Mr. Conductor jumped in and lifted his arms up against the bridge. He pushed with all his might. Spike saw the flagman. His driver applied the brakes, but it was too late."

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Cried Spike. RS Mr. Conductor didn't let go.

Finally, Spike's driver backed Spike to safety."

Harry Cupper: "Hold on, RS Mr. Conductor!"

Narrator: "Called Harry, and he rushed to help. RS Mr. Conductor couldn't hold the bridge any longer."

Harry Cupper: "Are you alright, RS Mr. Conductor?"

RS Mr. Conductor: "I think so."

Narrator: "Spike brought RS Mr. Conductor back to Cloudsdale. RS Mr. Conductor was afraid Spitfire would be cross with him. After all, he had jumped in and damaged his arms. But Spitfire was pleased."

Spitfire: "Spot on, RS Mr. Conductor."

Narrator: "She said."

Spitfire: "You'd make a mother proud."

Spike: "And a dragon grateful."

Narrator: "Spike chuffed."

Spitfire: "It's off to the hospital with you tomorrow, RS Mr. Conductor. The staff can't have a conductor with bent arms."

RS Mr. Conductor: "You mean I can stay?"

Spitfire: "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Narrator: "Spitfire grinned."

Harry Cupper: "We're a cracking crew!"

Narrator: "Laughed Harry."

Little Strongheart: "And all the better for RS Mr. Conductor being here."

Narrator: "Said Little Strongheart."

GC Mr. Conductor: "Welcome to the railroad, RS Mr. Conductor."

Narrator: "Cheered GC Mr. Conductor. RS Mr. Conductor was so happy, he couldn't think of anything to say. So he just blew his whistle.

As Spike walked towards the Library, he felt very happy."

Spike: "Yes."

Narrator: "He said."

Spike: "Welcome to the railroad, RS Mr. Conductor."
