The High Bridge is a girder bridge that's on a gorge on the Main Line Loop near Suddery. It's close-by the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre. The bridge crosses the Maura.

History[]

Thomas & Friends[]

During the construction of the rescue centre, the bridge was also being assembled. Once during that time, Diesel was being chased by Thomas as the former took conflats of Jobi Wood to the site instead. Unfortunately, Diesel stopped on the incomplete section of the bridge and was left dangling dangerously over the edge, but luckily, Thomas quickly rescued him. The bridge was later finished at the same time as the rescue centre.

Different Sets[]

Tracks leading up the Hill[]

The main set for the The High Bridge appears to be different to the one used on then the one used on the Search and Rescue Center Set. The Reason that can be believed is, that behind the Bend are not mountains, aswell as a River/Sea next to the tracks. This can be seen in Misty Island Rescue when the Narrator says "Down-Down to Cliffs and the Sea Below."

In the actual set, which was used in Season 14, Season 15 and Season 20, it can be believed that the bridge never was "finished" as it was a one-time thing only. Explaining why in Toby and Bash, you can only see it from the Left Side.

Search and Rescue Center[]

The Set for the Search and Rescue Center does not feature any tracks leading up to the Bridge. The backdrop is just covered with bushes and mountains, and there is no track to be seen. This was the final set. The One with the unfinished set seems to be a 3ds Maya temporary file saved on a fileserver somewhere with a Low-Poly-Model probably.
