Rusty is a little diesel engine who works hard keeping the Skarloey Railway in good order. But while helping his friends Skarloey and Rheneas, he neglects his jobs at the quarry. Soon the mountain line becomes unsafe and must close. With only two weeks to repair it, Rusty finds a clever way to bring the engines together—and persuades Elizabeth to help. Can they finish the work in time and save the railway? A lively tale about teamwork, responsibility and friendship.
