Tiny Train chugged into the train house. Night was falling and she wanted to get to bed early. "The quicker I get to sleep," she said, "the quicker morning will come."
Tiny Train backed into the train house beside Diesel Engine and Passenger Engine. Tiny Train was the smallest train in the train yard, so she had the smallest stall.
"But I don't mind," she said. "Tomorrow I get to leave the train yard for the first time. I'll show everyone that small trains can do big things."
Tiny Train drifted off to sleep. All night long she dreamed of the things she would do once she left the train yard. In her dreams she hauled valuable cargo over tall mountains. When she delivered her cargo, the engineer and brakeman cheered.
"Thank You, Tiny Train," they said. "You pulled more boxcars than any other engine in the yard. We couldn't have done it without you."
Once her cargo was delivered, her dreams took her off on another adventure. This time she was an express train, carrying very important passengers to very important meetings far away.
When she arrived at the station, the passengers cheered and shouted, "Thank you, Tiny Train. That was the fastest trip and the smoothest ride we've ever had. We couldn't have gotten here without you."
