Transcript
Narrator: An engine was returning to the Island of Sodor. His name was Shane Dooiney. He had away to the mainland being repaired, and was looking forward to seeing his old friends on the Culdee Fell Railway again.

(Porter arrives with Shane Dooiney at Kirk Machan, and Rocky starts to unload the mountain engine from the flatbed and onto his own rails)

Porter: There you go, Shane. You're back home, and on your own railway again.

Shane Dooiney: Thank you, Porter. Thank you, Rocky.

Mr. Percival: Yes. Thank you for bringing Shane Dooiney back home. And welcome back, Shane. We're glad you've come home.

Shane Dooiney: Thank you, sir. It's good to be back. I'm longing for a run up the mountain.

Mr. Percival: Well then, your crew will get you ready, and you can go once you're ready.

Narrator: As Shane Dooiney was getting fired up, Arry and Bert arrived at Kirk Machan.

Arry: Who are you?

Shane Dooiney: My name is Shane Dooiney. And I've just returned to Sodor after being repaired on the mainland. I can't wait to climb the mountain railway again.

Bert: Is that right?

(Arry winks at Bert)

Arry: Aren't you afraid of going up the mountain in fog?

Shane Dooiney: No. Why would I?

Bert: Well, they say that when an engine goes up the mountain on a foggy day, they get lost in the fog.

Arry: And the engine and its crew are never found again.

Shane Dooiney: Really?

Arry: Yes.

Bert: In fact, we've heard rumors of engines going up there on foggy days while you were gone, and they were never found again. And no one knows where they went.

Shane Dooiney: (Gasps)

(Arry and Bert snigger away)

Narrator: After hearing what Arry and Bert said, Shane Dooiney didn't feel so happy to be home anymore.

Shane Dooiney's Driver: Okay, Shane. Ready to climb the mountain again?

Shane Dooiney: Oh, uh... um... well...

Shane Dooiney's Driver: Is something wrong, Shane? You sound like you don't want to go up anymore.

Shane Dooiney: There's no fog today, is there?

Shane Dooiney's Driver: No, not at all. It's a lovely day.

Shane Dooiney: Well, okay, I'm ready.

(Shane Dooiney puffs away still feeling worried)

Narrator: That evening, the other mountain engines were looking forward to talking to Shane Dooiney.

Ernest: We're so glad to see you again, Shane. How was your first day back?

Shane Dooiney: Alright, I suppose.

Culdee: Just alright? What's wrong?

Shane Dooiney: Culdee, has any engine gone up the mountain on foggy days and has never been found again?

Culdee: No. Why do you ask?

Shane Dooiney: Well, when I was getting ready to start work, two twin diesels arrive and told me about what happens to engines who go up the mountain on foggy days. They get lost and are never found again.

Wilfred: You must be talking about Arry and Bert from the North Western Railway. You shouldn't take any notice of them.

Alaric: Yeah. We've heard stories about them causing trouble to steam engines. They're try to scare us as well with silly stories.

Shane Dooiney: I don't know. Isn't that what happened to... well, our number 1 engine? He got lost in the fog and was never found again, right?

Culdee: You mean, Godred? He fell down the mountain because he wouldn't keep a good look-out. Fog had nothing to do with that.

Shane Dooiney: I still don't want to go up the mountain when its foggy. I don't want to take chances of getting lost forever.

Narrator: Shane Dooiney didn't sleep a wink that night. He kept thinking about what Arry and Bert said. And the next morning, it was foggy indeed. Mr. Percival came to see the engines.

Mr. Percival: Shane Dooiney, you are to take the first passenger run up the mountain today.

Shane Dooiney: You mean, me?

Mr. Percival: Yes. There's no other engine named Shane Dooiney here.

Shane Dooiney: Okay, sir.

Narrator: Shane Dooiney was still scared, but he didn't want to argue with Mr. Percival.

Shane Dooiney: Come on, Tanya. We have to take some passengers up the mountain.

Tanya: Right, Shane. But we'll need to be careful. It's very foggy, and me and the guard won't be able to see a long way ahead.

(Shane Dooiney and Tanya go to the station to pick up the passengers. Once they're on board, the guard blows his whistle, and they set off)

Narrator: Everything was going well as Shane climb the mountain, but he was still worried.

Shane Dooiney: I don't want to get lost. I don't want to get lost.

Tanya: Are you okay, Shane? What are you saying back there?

Shane Dooiney: I'm saying that I don't want to get lost. It is foggy after all. Aren't you worried we'll get lost forever?

Tanya: No. Shane, I know about your fear lately, but there's nothing to be afraid of. The fog won't last forever.

Narrator: But Shane Dooiney was still afraid. It wasn't long before they were nearly at the top.

(Shane Dooiney stops)

Shane Dooiney: I can't go any further. We must go back.

Tanya: But Shane, what about the passengers? They want to go to the Summit. Do you want them to complain and say what a bad railway this is?

Shane Dooiney: You're right, Tanya. We must get to the Summit.

(Shane Dooiney takes a deep breath and continues on up the mountain)

Shane Dooiney: I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.

Narrator: Then, the fog began to lift. By the time Shane Dooiney reached the Summit, all of the fog had lifted.

Shane Dooiney: Wow! I forgot how beautiful it looks up here.

Tanya: You see Shane, we didn't get lost at all.

Shane Dooiney: You're right, Tanya. I shouldn't have believe what Arry and Bert said yesterday. I was very brave to go up the mountain in this fog. You know what else? I don't think I'm afraid of fog or traveling on foggy days anymore.

Tanya: I'm proud of you, Shane Dooiney.

Shane Dooiney: From now on, if engines try to scare me with such silly stories, I just won't listen to them.
