Description
North East of Crovans Gate you will find the transfer yard. It connects to the Bluebell Branch Line*, Arthur's branch line at Ballahoo and the Great Waterton branch line. Here we see SKRW D1 'Rusty' with a private train while SKRW No.1 'Skarloey' is seen in the passing loop awaiting for SKRW No.6 'Duncan' with a goods train. Meanwhile SKRW No.4 'Peter Sam' is waiting for his coal to be transferred from NWR No.3 'Henry'.

*The Bluebell Branch Line is what's named on the 2014 Sodor map by Sam Wilkinson, the Railway Consultant on Thomas & Friends, which is what was portrayed as the Bluebell Railway in S4 and TBH I understand that maybe at the time Britt Allcroft wants Thomas to be an international show rather being British, most likely to avoid cultural differences, which I don't like as there are countries like Japan and even the USA knew for years that Thomas is a British show. Heck Japan glorifies the show as being British (watch 'Thomas and the UK Trip'). Plus its also Stepney and his railway being treated as fictional. Rev.W.Awdry had made Sodor to feel real as possible, yes he said that Skarloey wasn't real in one of the books but even after the RWS he had created 'Sodor: Its People, History and Engines' which was a source book with history of the Island and the characters that really did make it feel real. Those are just my opinions on the whole thing.
