Thomas and the New Bridge is a magazine story.

Plot
A new bridge is currently being constructed over a pathway on the island. The engines are kept very busy bringing the building materials to the site. Thomas declares this to be the most difficult job he has ever had to do.

At last, it is time for the final iron girders to be delivered. Thomas thinks the bridge will look wonderful when it is finished and wonders who will be the first engine to cross it. As Thomas heads back to the depot, he and his driver hear a strange rattle coming from the flatbed Thomas is pulling. The sound is coming from one lone girder that was not unloaded.

Thomas heads off back to the bridge and finds the workman worriedly searching for the last girder. They are very relieved that Thomas has it and decide Thomas should have the honor of being the first engine to cross the new bridge, which makes Thomas feel very proud.
