The Orange Caterpillar Crane

The Orange Caterpillar Crane is an alive crane on the Island of Sodor in the fictional works Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. He was seen helping repair the broken bridge in the book 'Thomas Comes Home'. Not much is known about him, but he is the first alive crane introduced in the Thomas stories, the next being Cranky and then Kelly.

In the Sodor Island's Fourm's "Extended Railway Series" thread, he is called Rod.
