Thomas and the Big, Big Bridge is a book.

Plot

Sir Topham Hatt is going to open a new line going to the mountains. A bridge on the line is so high that it reaches the clouds. Henry is afraid of the wind because he thinks it might derail him. Thomas tries to comfort him without success. On the big day Gordon, Henry, and Thomas are ready to make their journey to the mountains with some tourists. When Henry gets to the foot of the mountain, he starts to back down, but Thomas pushes him up the mountain. They get to the side of the mountain and Henry becomes scared again because the line is too steep. Gordon has already gone through the fog and is far away leaving Henry and Thomas. At last they make it to the bridge. Thomas tells Henry that he will go first but suddenly a strong wind blows, and Thomas derails and luckily, he does not fall off. Soon Gordon returns, he sees Thomas and calls to Henry to help. Soon Thomas hears a buzzing noise. It is Harold, and he helps lift Thomas back onto the rails. Soon Thomas is on the rails again and he calls to Henry that the bridge is safe. Both engines then cross the bridge and make it to the station.
