A Special Shelter

A Special Shelter is a magazine story.

Plot
Emily had to collect Rocky and a works trucks to remove an old, disused siding in the countryside. When they arrived, Emily spies an old wooden hut. The driver explains that it's a small signalbox which they must take away, too. Emily thinks that the shed looks rather cosy and it would be a shame to waste it. Just then, Emily spots George who has repaired the road near a bus stop. After making a rude remark about railways, George's steering locks and he crashes into the nearby bus stop. George came to a noisy stop with a cloud of steam, covered in bits of the broken bus stop.

It began to rain. George's driver was worried; now Bertie's passengers would have to wait for the bus in the rain as it would take days to replace the broken shelter. Emily had an idea and she puffed over to the old signalbox where workmen tied strong ropes around it. Meanwhile, the mess of a bus shelter was cleared away. When everything was ready, Rocky moved the old signalbox into the spot where the bus shelter had stood. Emily was pleased that the old hut was being put to good use. George had to admit that sometimes railways can be really useful for road-users, too.
