"The Fogman" is a sixth season episode.
Plot
Cyril is a friendly fogman who lives in Misty Valley, earning his keep by putting detonators on the rails to warn the engines of landslides. However, when the Fat Controller acquires an electric foghorn, Cyril is given a rest and the foghorn is put on the hillside. Ironically, the vibrations from the foghorn create a landslide, which sweeps onto the track and derails Thomas. Cyril, in the nick of time, puts down a cap to warn Toby and Henrietta. Once the mess is cleared up, Cyril is reinstated as Misty Valley's fogman.
