Glynn's Siding
Glynn's Siding is a siding on the Ffarquhar Branch Line.
History
Long ago, Glynn was moved from siding to siding, later being forgotten about after being moved to this siding.
Many years later, Marion was sent to clear the siding for a new warehouse to be built. After nearly hitting Glynn with her shovel, she believed he was a talking Christmas tree. After telling Thomas, Annie, Clarabel, Toby and Henrietta and not being believed, she went to tell the Fat Controller. Thomas subsequently went to investigate the siding and re-discovered Glynn. He and Percy then moved him to Knapford Yards when Glynn suspected he would be scrapped if found in his current state.[15]
During another winter, Henry was accidentally sent into this siding by a set of jammed points.[16]
