00:00Rusty is a little diesel engine who works at the quarry on the island of Sodor.
00:12Rusty's best friends are Rheneas and Skarloey.
00:16Rusty helps keep their line clear.
00:20Sometimes Rusty works so hard clearing their line that the little diesel forgets there's also work to be done at the quarry.
00:30One day, Rusty returned late to the quarry.
00:34The Fat Controller was cross.
00:36Sorry sir, Rusty's driver said, we were helping Rheneas and Skarloey.
00:41I know you like helping Rheneas and Skarloey, but their line is in a bad condition.
00:46It takes too much of your time, said the Fat Controller.
00:49I am going to shut it down.
00:52Rusty was upset, but what will Rheneas and Skarloey do? Rusty asked.
00:57They will come and work with you here at the quarry.
01:01He had made his mind up. There was nothing Rusty could do.
01:06Their line was closed down.
01:11Rheneas and Skarloey came to work at the quarry.
01:14They worked as hard as they could, but they missed the forests and hills.
01:19Most of all, they missed their passengers.
01:25Rusty could see they were not happy.
01:32The Fat Controller came to the quarry with important news.
01:36We are going to be blasting for the next two weeks, he said.
01:40It won't be safe for you here.
01:42I will have to find you other work.
01:45Please, sir, Rusty said, may we use the two weeks to repair Rheneas and Skarloey's line?
01:50Then they can go back to their old jobs.
01:53There are plenty of line workers available, Rusty's driver added.
01:57The Fat Controller agreed.
02:00But you have only two weeks to complete the job, he said sternly.
02:04Rheneas and Skarloey's line was covered in rocks and branches.
02:09The tracks were broken in several places.
02:12Elizabeth, the quarry lorry, thought cleaning up the line was ridiculous.
02:17What a waste of time, she sniffed.
02:21Skarloey was upset.
02:24She's right, he said. We'll never get it fixed.
02:27We can't give up, said Rusty.
02:30The engines worked harder than ever.
02:33But time was running out.
02:40The next day, Rusty had a very clever idea.
02:44If only we had a lorry to help us, Rusty sighed.
02:48Elizabeth stopped.
02:51The lorry was ready to go.
02:53Well, I couldn't possibly help you. I'm a quarry lorry.
02:57Well, we do need a special kind of lorry, Rusty teased.
03:01I am a special kind of lorry, protested Elizabeth.
03:05It requires hauling, said Rusty.
03:08I can haul, said Elizabeth proudly.
03:12I'm pulling heavy branches, Hardesty.
03:15Well, of course you can haul heavy branches, Hardesty.
03:18I can haul, said Elizabeth proudly.
03:21I'm pulling heavy branches, Hardesty.
03:24Well, of course I can haul.
03:27So you'll do it, said Rusty.
03:30Well, of course.
03:35Elizabeth was as good as her word.
03:39She hauled rubbish and pulled branches from the line.
03:44She helped remove a fallen sycamore tree from the cattle creep.
03:48Thank you, Elizabeth, said Rusty.
03:51We couldn't have done it without you.
03:54I know, said Elizabeth proudly.
04:01The Fat Controller inspected the line.
04:05He was very impressed.
04:08Well done, Rusty, he said.
04:11And well done, Elizabeth.
04:14We will open this line immediately.
04:16Rusty was proud.
04:19Rheneas and Skarloey were very happy.
04:22Maybe now Rusty will have time to work at the quarry, said the Fat Controller.
04:27And Rusty just smiled.
