the railroad represents reliability mr.

two feathers well goodbye

[Music]

what are you doing

what nothing you know I guess it's just

my responsibility to work all right I'll

tell you but it's a secret okay I'm

looking for a little man

I only saw him once when I was a boy

I was sitting in a train station waiting

for a train to take me home but the

train was late and I started thinking

that I I'd never get home again all

alone no no he was with his family he

was saying goodbye that's when I saw him

and I know he was

and

he whispered a poem in my ear

but I can only remember part of it what

do you say

he said then the part I remember he said

all the sharing that makes life worth

living

and pleasure you get because you're

giving

and it's wonderful how all it runs your

and that's all I can remember

but when he set those words I knew I'd

get home safely and I did he tell you

his name mr. conductor

[Music]

I guess it all sounds pretty strange no

it doesn't run along kids I've got work

to do and so forth

[Music]

quiet fire side doors that open

[Music]

smiles that welcome me

and to take my hand hearts that

understand what it means to be

[Music]

all the wandering and the wandering way

could I find that a little world of love

I saw so clear in my mind now it's here

at last all my troubles past Nevermore I

laughter Oh

I'm home

[Music]

all the happiness with those you care

for

when you finally know what you're there

for and it's wonderful how suddenly

you're in the place where you belong all

the sharing that makes life worth living

and the pleasure you get cuz you're

giving and it's wonderful how all at

once you're wished for

[Music]

I'm the home

[Music]

yes that's it that's the poem and it's

wonderful how all at once you're where

you wished for all along yes that's it

this is where I belong it's always been

here thank you for helping me remember

mr. conductor

[Music]

wherever you are

[Music]

hey the passengers must have left them

this calls to mind

schemers system of success you leave him

you lose him we find him we take a

[Music]

drumstick schemer stole Stacy's pie

Billy we made so many mistakes this

morning or afraid they might shut down

the station they'd never do that oh

what'd he do then as long as there are

trains there will be a shining time

station I figured we'll be here for as

long as people remember the sound the

whistle echoing through the Falcon the

excitement that they feel when they hear

that sound and shining time station will

be here for as long as we can see the

rail stretching off into the distance

the tracks that seemed to go on forever

wondered

but might just be around that next bend

I figure we'll be here for questions

online yes that Billy sure knows his

trains Dhoni did well so do we Rex

hey you guys we also happen to know a

song about railroad Commerce well then

this one's for Billy

right on

the Great Pacific Railway

[Music]

lay down

[Music]

cuz are coming

Mexico

[Music]

come

[Music]

[Music]

town

[Music]

coming

[Music]

through New Mexico

[Music]

through the mesh

what Billy said is true

there will always be trains and there

will always be shining time station not

if we keep running it everyone makes

mistakes Becky the trick is pulling

together to correct them like the time

with Edward Trevor Terrence and birdie

well let me start at the start and begin

at the beginning

[Applause]

Trevor the traction engine is

old-fashioned but he doesn't care he

knows that he is really useful like his

friend Edward the blue engine early one

morning Trevor was chuffing about the

vicarage orchard he had important news

for Edward The Vicar says that not all

children are able to have holidays by

the sea so he's having a garden party to

raise money for a seaside trip I'm going

to be the star attraction chattered

Trevor giving rides to all the visitors

The Vicar is putting up posters all

about it I'd like to help to side Edward

but without my rails I wouldn't be much

good at a garden party

[Music]

it was a beautiful day but Edward was

worried I wish there was something I

could do for the party he said I'd like

to be helpful like Trevor Edwards driver

laughed you're helpful in your own way

and that's on the railway

[Music]

next day it was Trevor's turn to look

disappointed he had bad news The Vic has

been so busy that he forgot to put up

the posters now no one will know about

the party but Edward had an idea don't

worry he said everything is going to be

all right

then he explained to his driver The

Vicar can paste his posters on my cab

and coaches so wherever I go they'll go

- well done Edward said his driver

I'm sure Sir Topham Hatt will agree as

indeed he did Edward steamed happily

through the station's collecting his

passengers look they said the vicar is

holding a party we must go to that

later Trevor was resting in the orchard

shed when Bertie rolled by hello Trevor

why are you dozing there like an old

stick-in-the-mud

I'm not dozing I'm resting replied

Trevor then he told Bertie about the

vicar's party I'll be there too posted

Bertie

I'm not sure people will want a ride on

an old traction engine after travelling

in a smart red bus like me the party day

arrived it had rained heavily during the

night and the orchard ground is soaked

rain and mud won't spoil my day said

Trevor no indeed egregious driver will

stay on the road then we won't get

bogged down

Travel was soon busy trundling up and

down the quiet country lane carrying

lots of laughing children he was just

turning a corner when he heard Bertie

hello old-timer I'm taking everyone to

the party people have come from all over

the island Trevor gave Bertie a cheerful

whistle and turned back toward the

orchard then there was trouble

help I'm stuck shouted Bertie his wheels

had sunk deep in the orchard mud Terence

the tractor arrived just in time I'm the

one who has to plow fields laughed

Terence we'd better get you out of here

using strong ropes Terence and Trevor

pulled Bertie clear of the mud this will

teach Bertie a thing or two Trevor

chuffing to himself at last Bertie was

on the road again Thank You Trevor

you're not a stick-in-the-mud at all

now smile Trevor but you were just for a

little while

that evening the vicar arrived to see

Edward and his driver thanks to your

good idea about the posters hundreds of

people paid to come to the party we've

raised lots of money for the children

Edward was very pleased and Trevor fell

happily asleep thinking of all the

children who would now get to the

seaside at last

mistakes and accidents will always

happen but what you owe

[Music]

I confess when there are eyes mr. mayor

well that's easy enough for you to say

but I had to judge the pie contest these

must be Stacie's parties huh

well we shall judge them on appearance

actually they're terrible fire but

there's always always the taste

[Music]

Here I am and I wish I were because that

I was concoction you did for these pies

mister worst thing I've ever tasted in

my life and as far as the contest is

concerned it's dead

oh don't mr. mayor these are not my play

I can only judge the pies that are put

right in front of me well I did leave

two pies your kids have you seen my pies

all right let's not argue over a couple

of pies because we're all friends here

right and friends are more important

than any pie contest right oh yes I

suppose so

absolutely because it's friends that

make shining time station a place that

it is a train station it's a place where

people can come together and even when

we have to say goodbye we know we'll see

each other again and that's the true

meaning of friendship

it's I schemer bare forefinger and allow

me to introduce my brilliant young

nephew Oh young skinny Oh young ski me

yes all right now it is time for me to

introduce our latest labor-saving device

the pie flapping er what pie flinger I

mean here's how it works
