The tunnel is fixed, and now it’s time for the construction crew to finish the job!

Narrator: Male

Story Begins: 3:49

Gravel Groundwork Excerpt:

In the early morning on Ahway Island, Ellie the excavator rested quietly in her cozy garage. Her engine was off, but she was already thinking about the train tunnel. Not long ago, she and her friends had helped fix a crack in the tunnel wall. Now, today, they would go back and finish the job. Ellie was excited to continue that work. It always felt good to be part of an important project.

Soon, Ellie heard footsteps outside. The garage door rolled open, and cool morning air flowed in. Her driver climbed in and turned the key. Ellie’s engine started with a rumble, and Ellie’s driver eased her out into the construction yard.
