“We should have left this part of the island alone.”
― Sir Topham Hatt

Boulder Quarry was a short-lived quarry on the Skarloey Railway, named for the mysterious Boulder which once stood atop the nearby mountain.

History

Built in the hills of Sodor by the Sodor Mining Company, the quarry was once operated by the narrow gauge engines of the Skarloey Railway. Rock from the quarry would be brought down to the North Western Railway's exchange sidings near Boulder Quarry Sheds. Terence, George and Butch also helped out here during the quarry's construction and opening.

Shortly after the quarry's opening, Thumper was constructed by the mining company for use here. His digging into the mountain eventually caused Boulder to be shaken loose and fall onto the track, causing chaos as it rolled along the line. After this, Sir Topham Hatt decided to close down the quarry, declaring that it was a part of the island that should have been left alone.[1]
