00:00Trusty Trunkie!
00:30It was my first day on the Indian Railway, and everything was new to me.
00:43Apart from my friend Ashima, who I first met when she came to Sodor.
00:49Well, Thomas, what do you think?
00:52I thought Sodor was busy, but that must be the busiest station I have ever seen!
00:59Oh, yes! The Indian Railway is the busiest and biggest in the world!
01:05Some say it's the king of all railways!
01:09I know what you're thinking.
01:11You do?
01:12You're thinking,
01:14Whoa! Check out the crown!
01:17I was?
01:19Maybe you should introduce yourself first, Rajiv.
01:22Ah, yes. Silly me. I'm Rajiv, the Royal Engine.
01:27The pleasure is all yours.
01:31Bonjour!
01:34Just because you have a crown doesn't mean you're royal.
01:39Our railway is also the most glamorous.
01:43And the most hard-working.
01:48You'll soon get used to working here, Thomas.
01:52It's not so different to the railway on Sodor, you know.
01:57Wow! We don't have those in the shunting yards on Sodor!
02:03Oh, elephants used to be everywhere and can still be seen in some places in India.
02:09There was a time when elephants used to work in the shunting yards.
02:14They used to help shunt the trucks when the engines were busy.
02:18Elephants can't shunt trucks!
02:22Yes, they can.
02:24Some elephants are stronger than engines, Thomas.
02:28Was that an elephant?
02:30No, just me bringing you your trucks.
02:38On my way to deliver my trucks, I saw many more new things.
02:43Amazing palaces and monuments.
02:47Very high bridges.
02:50And even animals travelling on top of trains!
03:07Ashima, why have you stopped?
03:10I'm waiting for her to wake up.
03:13Why don't you blow your whistle to make her move?
03:16That's what the Fat Controller would tell us to do.
03:19But Thomas, cows are very special to many people in India.
03:24And if a cow wants to sleep, well, we let it sleep.
03:28Oh, okay Ashima. I'll let her sleep too. See you later.
03:38I couldn't believe it! Elephants, goats, chickens, cows!
03:44It felt to me like the animals were in charge of the railway in India!
03:48I didn't think that could ever happen on Sodor!
04:02Thomas the Tank Engine! You've come in on the wrong platform!
04:06You're causing confusion and delay! Watch where you're going!
04:19Oh no!
04:22Oh, I really need to stop daydreaming!
04:30Crumbling cranes!
04:33Oh, Rajiv! I'm so glad you're here!
04:37I'm sure you are. But what are you doing down there?
04:41I came off the rails. Oh, could you fetch a breakdown crane, please?
04:47Um...
04:49They'll probably give your crown an extra polish for rescuing me.
04:54Do you think so? Okay!
04:57Thanks, Rajiv!
05:08What's that?
05:18And hello to you too, Mrs Elephant!
05:22What are you doing?
05:30I'm not sure we see eye to eye on this, do we?
05:35I think I'd rather wait for a breakdown crane if it's okay with you!
05:42Oh, dear!
05:45It's not easy to get me back onto the rails again!
05:59Wow! Thanks, Mrs Elephant!
06:03You did it!
06:05Thomas?
06:07Thomas?
06:09Thomas, are you okay?
06:12He is now, but I was supposed to rescue him!
06:15I'm sorry if I wasted your time, Rajiv,
06:18but how was I to know an elephant was going to rescue me?
06:22And you were right, Ashima! Elephants really are as strong as engines!
06:27Trusty Trunky! I know her! She's helped me before!
06:32Hey! What was that for?
06:35Thomas, she's washing you!
06:38Oh, thank you again, Trusty Trunky!
06:42Hey! What's the code?
06:50I knew I'd make lots of new friends in India,
06:54but I never thought one of them would be an elephant!
