The narrow gauge railway was covered in tons of snow.There was a problem at the incline.The winch that moves the trucks up and down wasn’t working right.The workman use the snow as a double buffer to stop trucks from plunging into the ravine.One day,Sandbar and Skarloey were taking slate trucks to the quarry through a narrow gorge.Sandbar looked up at the snow caps.

“That snow looks dangerous.”He said worried.”A loud noise might cause an avalanche.I’ll set an emergency cap and see what happens.”Skarloey watched as Sandbar prepared it.Then,Skarloey ran over the cap and the cap went boom!The bang echoed through the gorge.Nothing happened.

“Good.”Said Skarloey.”Let’s carry on with our work.”But,Neither did Sandbar and Skarloey knew they were heading for trouble.A long line of loaded slate trucks were making their way down the incline.As they began to roll down,The winch groaned.

“Break it!Snap it!”Shouted the trucks and they did.The winch snapped and the trucks raced down the hill.”On!On!Faster!Faster!”

“The snow bank and buffers will stop them!”Said a workman.But,He was wrong.The trucks smashed through the buffers and snow and plunged into the ravine.They smashed onto a lower cliff edge with a loud boom!Louder than the emergency cap.Sandbar and Skarloey heard the noise.

“Ugh...What did you eat do breakfast?”Skarloey asked Sandbar.

“AVALANCHE!!!!!”Sandbar screamed.Skarloey looked up and saw the snow tumbling down the gorge.A bunch of snow buried Sandbar and Skarloey followed by the slate trucks.Sandbar and the other came to see what happened.

“This isn’t good.”Said Ocellus worried.

“Sandbar and Skarloey need help.”Said Yona as she started to dig in the snow.As the young 5 cleared away the snow,They didn’t knew the heat from Skarloey’s boiler created an igloo.

“It’s a snowball.”Smolder guessed.

“No.It’s a snow house.”Said Gallus.

“Both wrong!Its an engine!”Said Silverstream realizing what it is.The young 5 cleared away the ice and revealed Sandbar and Skarloey.Mr.Percival came to see them.

“Are you two alright?”He asked.

“Y-Y-Yeah.I was starting to feel like a popsicle.”Shivered Sandbar.

“M-Me,Too.”Said Skarloey.

“It’s ok.We’ll have you nice and warm at the sheds.”Said Mr.Percival.

“Thank you,Sir.”Said Sandbar.
