 * Michael Brandon: Rheneas and Skarloey work on the most beautiful line on the Island of Sodor. They loved to puff through the forest and over the rivers. An old bridge crosses one of the rivers. Some of its beams were rotten and had now been damaged by the storm. Skarloey chuffed happily along. He didn't see the broken rail until it was too late. He dangled dangerously above the water.
 * Skarloey: Help!
 * Michael Brandon: But Rheneas soon pulled him to safety. A few days later Sir Topham Hatt came to the sheds.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The old bridge has been mended but the worker's freight cars had been left there. Skarloey, I need you to collect them.
 * Skarloey: Yes, sir.
 * Michael Brandon: Chuffed Skarloey. He didn't want to go on the bridge again. When Skarloey arrived he saw the freight cars on the other side. He started to cross, but stopped. He looked down into the rushing water. Skarloey was scared. He remembered what it happened before.
 * Skarloey's Driver: Come on, Skarloey.
 * Michael Brandon: Called his driver.
 * Skarloey's Driver: The bridge is safe now.
 * Michael Brandon: But Skarloey wouldn't cross the bridge and he and his driver went home instead.
 * Rheneas' Driver: We'll pick up the freight cars.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Rheneas' driver.
 * Rheneas: But if you don't cross the bridge soon...
 * Michael Brandon: Said Rheneas.
 * Rheneas: Sir Topham Hatt will be cross.
 * Michael Brandon: Now Rheneas had to take Skarloey's loads as well as his own. Each morning he collected the freight cars and puffed across the bridge with his heavy load. Finally Sir Topham Hatt came to see Skarloey.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: If you won't cross the old bridge, you must stay here and shunt freight cars.
 * Michael Brandon: He scolded.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I can't have engines that won't do as they're told.
 * Skarloey: Sorry, sir.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Skarloey sadly. The next morning Rheneas took Skarloey's heavy loads as usual. Then he puffed and heaved through the countryside towards the bridge. He puffed so hard that he ran out of water.
 * Rheneas: Bother!
 * Michael Brandon: The yard manager spread the news.
 * Yard Manager: Rheneas has broken down.
 * Skarloey: We must go help him.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Skarloey bravely. He set off immediately. Skarloey was scared but determined. He rolled slowly up into the edge. The bridge creaked loudly. The river seemed deeper than ever.
 * Skarloey: I must rescue my friend.
 * Michael Brandon: Whispered Skarloey. He chuffed slowly onto the bridge. The bridge groaned as he rolled foward but Skarloey puffed on and on and finally, his driver coupled up and pulled Rheneas to safety.
 * Rheneas: Thank you.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Rheneas.
 * Rheneas: You were very brave to help me.
 * Michael Brandon: Skarloey is no longer afraid of the bridge and he loves his journeys more than ever.
