Tillie



Tillie is the main protaganist of The Little Engine That Could (Film) who is the little engine.

She works as a shunting engine with her friend Chip the bird, but also dreams of pulling a train of her own like the bigger engines. She first tries to pull Jebediah's milk train not wanting to wake him up, but is stopped by Tower, who tells her that she's too little. Tower then asigns Georgia to pull the Birthday Train. When Georgia breaks down, Tillie alerts Doc to go and help her. While Georgia is brought back to the roundhouse, Tillie asks Tower if she can pull the train. But despite the pleasing face he gives her at first, he insists that she'll never be able to do it. After Jebediah arrives back at the train yards and tells her he can't pull the train and Pete and Farnsworth will not, she realizes she is the only engine left. So she sneaks past Tower sleeping, and pulls the train up into the mountain, but finds that her journey is not very pleasant as she loses a car crossing the bridge and then gets covered in a snow fall. Fortunately, Tillie wakes up and finishes her journey up into the mountain and delivers the toys to the children of the mountain.
