The Missing Breakdown Train

"Emergency!" "Judy!" "Jerome?"

- Judy and Jerome

The Missing Breakdown Train is the seventeenth episode of the twentieth season.

Plot
After a long time lack of emergencies, Judy and Jerome become bored at Knapford Station Yard. When Ryan offers to take them to Arlesburgh Harbour they immediately embrace the change in scenery. But after a while, the two Breakdown cranes become unsatisfied at the Harbour, and they decide to ask another engine to take them to a new location. Oliver takes them to a field on Duck's Branch Line and, after becoming even more bored there, Duck takes them to Blue Mountain Quarry.

But when Daisy derails to avoid hitting the bull that lives on the Harwick Branch Line, Thomas is sent to find Judy and Jerome at the station yard. Thomas searches but cannot find them there, and tells Ryan, who sets out to find the missing Breakdown train. Ryan travels to each place the cranes went, and finally traces them down at the Blue Mountain Quarry. The two cranes are delighted to finally have another emergency to tend to, and they soon put Daisy safely back on the rails.

That evening, The Fat Controller informs Judy and Jerome that it is important to know where they are located when there is an emergency. However, realising that Rocky is not the only crane on the Island, he decides to assign Judy and Jerome to be stationed at the Arlesburgh Yard, so that they can help out when there are accidents on the western part of the Island.
