Summary

It was winter on the Island of Sodor, the first fogs begun to roll in from the sea. Annie and Clarabel liked the quiet of Misty Valley, but Thomas had to be careful of falling rocks. Cyril the Fog man's job was to put detonators on the tracks that warned engine's that there was fog ahead.

The next day at Tidmouth Sheds Sir Top Ham Hatt had a surprise for the engines, it was a foghorn, the engines didn't like it because it was to loud. Latter Percy heard the foghorn, he said it didn't make his axles tingle. Then, because it was so loud, it caused a rock slide, and the foghorn was crushed.

After that Thomas was puffing down the same line, there was no foghorn, so he crashed in to the rocks. The foghorn was no were to be seen. Toby would be coming down the line any minute, so Cyril put a detonator on the line just in time, Toby stopped just before the wreckage. Latter when the mess was cleared, Sir Top Ham Hatt said Cyril was more reliable that the foghorn, so Cyril got his job back.

My Own Thoughts

If Sir Top Ham Hatt saw the shingles falling of the roof when he was testing the foghorn, and he knew there were rock slides in the area he was going to use it, then why did he bother? It was funny when Gordon said"It sounds like a Tugboat".
