The Badger Line is a re-opened loop line which runs to a Nature Study Centre.
History[]
Thomas once had to take some trucks on this line when he was re-routed after a points failure. While travelling, he noticed some creatures near an abandoned station, which his driver explained were badgers.
The next day, Thomas went along the line again with Sir Topham Hatt and a wildlife expert who was a friend of Thomas' driver, who managed to spot the badgers from an old coach. Following this, news of the badgers and the line spread amongst the other engines and nature-lovers, so the Fat Controller decided to re-open the old line and the station. On its first day, Thomas took the inaugural train to the Nature Study Centre.
