Synopsis

After 40 years of service, steam locomotive Yaemon is treated as an obstruction by newer trains. Young Tadashi still treasures her: his late father drove the engine, and her place in his family's life means more to him than modern speed.

He travels to see Yaemon after she is sent away, only for another mishap to put her at risk of being scrapped. A robbery suddenly gives the aging locomotive a chance to show that she still has something important to offer.
