The little train is very scared of the dark and won't go into the very dark tunnel. How will everyone get to work? The little train has a bright idea - perhaps he can find a different route...
The little train in this story is great at his job of transporting passengers to work and back, as long as it doesn’t involve the dark! He finds himself coming towards a dingy tunnel and screeches to a halt, much to the annoyance of the people onboard. He decides to go cross-country, making everyone arrive late, infuriating the passengers even more, except for an old lady who gives the train a good idea…
