Workmen

Workmen are ready to assist in work. They usually wear a cap, a blue coat with a white shirt and black tie, over which overalls are worn.

They are found at:
 * accidents
 * goods yards and depots
 * any maintenance work, or Project
 * scrapyards
 * harbours
 * Sodor Steamworks

Possible Goof
In theory, what the workmen wear would be considered unsafe by modern standards. For example no hardhats, safety vests, or eye protection. Since years are never said there's no definite error, though there is a good chance of it. The possible reason for it being correct is that the TV series is set before the 1970s. However, some episodes show quarry workmen and miners wearing hardhats and, since the CGI switch-over, several workmen are seen wearing hardhats.
