A young steam engine named Rusty is about to go into the International Railroad Championship in order to spend time with his friend, Pearl the observation coach, who he is madly in love with.

=== Trivia ===
* Marcie Brown, Rusty's fireman and Adam Sevillie, Poppa's fireman were added in by Joel Bjornsson since steam engines need someone to maintain their fires
* Janna wasn't in the original musical and was added by Joel Bjornsson to give a diesel a main role where she isn't against steam engines
* Some songs from the original musical were kept out because they were too hard to incorporate to actual trains on rails, instead of humans on roller skates
* Realistically Ashley would've been converted to an ordinary coach by 1980, but nobody knows why she is still a smoking car
* Originally the musical took place in the mind of a child, but the movie takes place in a comepletly alternate universe like Thomas & Friends
* Realistically, Rusty's basis, the USATC S160 were built for the UK in WWII and therfore didn't have American couplers.
*During "One Rock N Roll Too Many" the line "And my shoes/pants are too tight" is replaced with "And my brakes are too tight". This was done because trains don't have pants, and "shoes" could mean "brake shoes"
