Ty, along with Garrett, Tevin, and Jamie went to the Eden, Texas Train Station to see the big circus train that was coming to town.

After exploring all the trains, Ty climbed onto the back of a little track tester. Looking around, he found some old uniforms lying next to the little train.

"Hey! We can be engineers!" said Tevin.

Ty had a feeling the other trains didn't like having these new little visitors there.

To their surprise, Ty along with Garrett, Tevin, and Jamie heard the trains talking about the arrival of the circus train.

"It has three big engines!" said The Two Engine Express.

"...and smoke stacks as big as trees!" exclaimed The Timberline Steamer.

Then Ty heard the little track tester say, "I can't wait to see the circus train with all the animals and clowns!"

Page 15

"Who cares what you want?" huffed The Two Engine Express. "Who do you think you are anyway? You don't even have a name or an engineer."

Ty felt sorry for the little train with no name.

The little track tester was sad.

"I never go anywhere important, and more than anything, I do wish I had an engineer," he sighed.

That gave Ty an idea.

Soon, the trains lined up to leave Eden, Texas. As usual, the little track tester was last in line, but this time Ty along with Garrett, Tevin, and Jamie were on board.

"Look!" shouted Tevin, tugging on the whistle cord. "It looks like it's rusted shut."

The little train suddenly stopped on its tracks.

"Who's that?" shouted the train with no name.

Ty proudly announced, "I'm Ty, and this is Garrett, Tevin, and Jamie. We're your new engineers!"

Page 20

"But, you... you can't just..."

Suddenly, Ty heard an alarm.

"Look!" shouted Tevin. "There's something wrong up ahead."

Page 23

The little track tester saw the circus train heading toward the bridge. "A rail has come loose!" cried the track tester. "The circus train could crash!"

Page 24

Quickly, Ty jumped from the train, grabbed a loose spike from the track, and pushed it through the rusty whistle to unclog it.

Page 27

Ty pulled hard on the cord, and the old whistle sang out loud! The circus train screeched to a full stop. This gave everyone time to fix the track.

When the little track tester returned to Eden, Texas, The Timberline Steamer rolled up, puffing with excitement. "You and Ty have saved the circus train," he said, "and we think it is time you had a name!"

Page 31

"We've decided to call you Hooty," said Ty.

No longer a train with no name, Hooty blew his whistle and announced that Ty along with Garrett, Tevin, and Jamie were his new engineers.

Page 32

Everyone cheered for Hooty, now the biggest little train in Eden, Texas.

After a very exciting day, Ty had learned a big lesson....

You don't have to be big to be important.
