Rusty Saves the Day

Rusty Saves the Day is the twenty-fifth episode of the sixth season.

Plot
Skarloey and Rheneas' line is neglected and when Rusty suggests repairing the line to the Fat Controller he is given an ultimatum: repair the lines while blasting is going on in the slate mines or the line will be closed for good. The three work their hardest, but they are fighting a losing battle and Elizabeth is the first to notice. Rusty luckily tricks her into helping them and they finish the work on time.

Goofs

 * At the beginning Skarloey and Rheneas look happy but later Rusty notes they are looking glum, which doesn’t entirely make sense with the former note in mind.
 * When Elizabeth pulls the sycamore tree off the bridge it almost hits a workman, and Rheneas' eyes are looking wonky.
 * The title states that Rusty saved the day, but the episode was set over a time period of two weeks.
 * Skarloey and Rheneas' line is the Skarloey Railway's mainline. So if it was shut down, the Skarloey Railway would essentially shut down, leaving only the slate mines active.
 * Surely the maintenence-of-way crews and track section crews wouldn't shirk their duties and let the line deteriorate.
