== Biography ==
Salty was sent to Sodor to help Bill & Ben do their work at the Clay Pits, but was too bored when he was done with their jobs. After a storm at Brendam Docks happened, Sir Topham Hatt decided to have Salty work at Brendam Docks under the name of Salty The Dockside Diesel. Later next month, when Edward had a runaway coach he was asked to bring it back to Edward in order to get a reward, which was cake to celebrate his job.
== Personality ==
Unlike some diesels, Salty is an easy-going, jolly, friendly, and very practical diesel who very rarely gets upset. He also enjoys telling stories revolving around the sea and fantasy. His seafaring ways and nautical accent are sometimes ridiculed and teased by the other engines (though Percy and Thomas imitated his accent since they thought he was amazing), but his usefulness almost always helps the others overlook that.
