The Dam is a large structure which carries part of Toby's Branch Line and prevents the river alongside the line from overflowing.
History
Once, during a period of high rain, Toby and Harold were sent to inspect the dam and found it was leaking. While Toby was on his way back to warn the villagers and find higher ground, the dam partially collapsed, causing the river to rise and take Toby with it on top of an old bridge. Once the floods were over, the dam underwent repairs.[1]
Appearances
Trivia
- The structure of the dam is incorrectly oriented. While the dam shown in the television series curves outwards, real dams curve inwards for structural stability.
