00:01Chaos at Kronk's Crossing.
00:06Woo-hoo!
00:08The tracks are clear.
00:09Plenty of room to see how fast I can go with my new double-greased axle.
00:17Wait till Kana sees this.
00:19She's gonna be loo-
00:22Thomas! Stop! The gates are down!
00:30Hi, Bruno. Sorry. That was a close one, huh?
00:34You should bring me next time you go that fast.
00:38Good advice, Bruno. So why is everyone stopped?
00:50The gates at Kronk's Crossing are all broken again.
00:54So we're all stuck here till Sandy and Carly can fix the signals?
00:58Oh, bolts!
01:00Can you do it any faster?
01:02We're running late with our loads of brand-new dogs,
01:04and if we don't get it there soon, Cranky's gonna be extra cranky.
01:08We're doing our best here.
01:10Nice try, Crossing Arm.
01:13But not today.
01:15Seems there's always something going wrong at Kronk's Crossing.
01:19Everyone will be delayed, like Percy, who should be here now.
01:23Hey, you're right, Bruno. There he is.
01:28Hey, Percy. How you doing?
01:30Hey, little Comigo. Pretty good.
01:32Until now.
01:34What a mess.
01:36Hey, at least it gives us a chance to say hello and catch up while we wait.
01:39Well, that's true.
01:40Good heavens! Another traffic jam at Kronk's Crossing.
01:48That's why I've drawn up my biggest construction plan ever.
01:53We're going to fix Kronk's Crossing once and for all.
01:57And I'm going to need your help to do it, Thomas.
02:00After all, you are the number one engine.
02:02You got it. Number one gets the job done. Who's ready to help out?
02:08Yes!
02:10Woohoo! Let's do this.
02:12Um, Thomas, this project is really complicated.
02:16We shouldn't start everybody working all at once.
02:19How are we going to get it all done if only a few of us are working?
02:23Hmm. We'll figure it out.
02:26Let's get this construction party started.
02:28Sir Topham Hatt, the biggest adventure club just became the biggest construction club.
02:38Thanks for the fancy new paint job, Sandy. We're off to a great start.
02:45There you go, Terrence. Now you're construction ready.
02:49Woohoo!
02:51I'm an expert on digging up dirt.
02:54And I'm in the zone with my safety cones.
02:58Pull out the old signals.
03:01With my hook.
03:03Cause nothing rhymes with signals.
03:05Hey, look!
03:07I found these barricades and cones sitting over there by the express tracks.
03:12I'm loving the enthusiasm, but I was just about to use those to close the tracks.
03:19But Gordon is scheduled to run the express route.
03:23Now!
03:24Carly! Sandy! Look out!
03:26Why didn't they stop?
03:28Oh, wait! We took out the signal light. These barricades were to mark that the express line was closed.
03:42That's right. Guess we're not off to such a great start after all.
03:48That's what I was trying to tell you. It's not your fault, Terrence.
03:52The biggest construction club just needs to think about this and do things one step at a time.
03:56Like making sure all the tracks are marked closed before we tear out the crossing signals.
04:03Exactly! First step, we need to close all the tracks.
04:07Right, so the other trains will know not to come this way.
04:10We're on it. Come on, Terrence. It's track closing time.
04:15Now, Terrence.
04:16Let's go.
04:17Good job
04:18Good job!
04:19That's it.
04:20See you all, Ma'am.
04:21Whatever day!
04:22You're on it.
04:23Well, you're on it.
04:25No.
04:26You're on it.
04:27Good job!
04:28Oh, ma'am!
04:29All the tracks leading to Cronk's crossing are effective!
04:30Okay, all the tracks leading to Kronk's crossing are officially closed.
04:46Now, no more trains will come through the site.
04:49Okay, the next step is...
04:51All engines go to the construction zone!
04:55Don't you mean destruction zone?
04:57Good one, Terrence.
04:58You get started. I'll find the troublesome trucks to haul away the debris.
05:08Wait, Terrence!
05:13Where'd everybody go?
05:15Here's a pile of shovels and pickaxes for the workers.
05:18Whoa!
05:22Whoa!
05:25Whoa!
05:28Okay, I'm back in...
05:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
05:33Look out, Thomas!
05:34Whoa!
05:35Whoa!
05:37What in the world?
05:39Whoa, whoa, whoa!
05:43That was amazing!
05:46Yeah, amazing!
05:48Oh, dear.
05:50What's all this?
05:52Um, Nia, I think maybe I skipped a step again.
05:57You're right, Thomas.
05:59Even though this is the biggest job ever, the truth is we don't need the biggest team ever.
06:05What we need is just a few of us working in three simple steps.
06:09Step one, we pull out the rails.
06:12I can pull up the rails with my hook!
06:14That's great!
06:15Step two, we dig out the rail ties.
06:18No problem.
06:19My claw is like a rail tie wrangler.
06:22Perfect!
06:23And step three, we clear away the dirt to make the construction zone nice and smooth.
06:28Leave it to me.
06:29Smooth dirt is my middle name.
06:32Actually, it's Randall.
06:35Once the site is cleared, Thomas and the troublesome trucks can haul the debris over to Whiff's for recycling.
06:41But what about the rest of us?
06:43What should we do?
06:44Sorry, but it looks like there's nothing we need you for right now.
06:48It's okay, little Camigo.
06:49Just let us know when you need us.
06:52Thanks, team.
06:52We sure will.
06:55Step one, pull up the rails.
07:02Step one, check.
07:06Step two, rail ties wrangling.
07:12Step two, checkity check.
07:15Step three, clear the dirt and make it smooth.
07:24Step three, checkity check, check, check.
07:29Great job, everyone!
07:31Our first load is ready to go!
07:38Next stop, Whiff's recycling plant.
07:42Go, Thomas!
07:45Whiff!
07:47Oh, Whiff!
07:48You home?
07:53Are you okay?
07:56I'm fine!
07:59Just another failed experiment.
08:02Well, that was interesting.
08:05Aren't you upset?
08:07Nah, I found the hundredth way not to recycle a barbecue grill.
08:12That's a nice way to look at it.
08:14Here, we've got a big load of rails and rail ties to recycle.
08:17Oh, hold on!
08:25That can't go into the smelter like that.
08:27It's going to blow!
08:37It's going to blow!
08:44Phew!
08:45Good job, Penelope!
08:47Guess I messed up again.
08:51Cheer up!
08:52Learning to do something new is like an experiment.
08:56Yeah, Thomas.
08:57You just found a really good way not to use the smelter.
09:01Now you're getting it!
09:02Hmm, maybe the trick is one pile at a time.
09:20Put the rails in one pile and the rail ties in another.
09:24I can keep the dirt out back in case someone needs it later.
09:27Oh, right!
09:28Break a big job down into smaller jobs
09:30and just take things one step at a time.
09:33And from there,
09:35even the biggest jobs can become easy-greasy.
09:38Ah!
09:38Ah!
10:00There you go!
10:01That's the last time.
10:03Well done, Sandy.
10:05Great work, everyone.
10:07We've made a lot of progress today,
10:09and everything is running smooth.
10:11Did somebody say smooth?
10:15Well, there's still a lot of work to do.
10:18But now we know how we're going to do it.
10:20One step at a time.
10:22One step at a time.
10:23One step at a time.
10:24One step at a time.
10:25One step at a time.
10:26One step at a time.
10:27One step at a time.
10:28One step at a time.
10:29One step at a time.
10:30One step at a time.
10:31One step at a time.
10:32One step at a time.
10:33One step at a time.
10:34One step at a time.
10:35One step at a time.
10:36One step at a time.
10:37One step at a time.
10:38One step at a time.
10:39One step at a time.
10:40One step at a time.
10:41One step at a time.
10:42One step at a time.
10:43One step at a time.
10:44One step at a time.
10:45One step at a time.
10:46One step at a time.
10:47One step at a time.
10:48One step at a time.
