The Sodor Steamworks is situated on the Main Line at Crovan's Gate. It is the home of Victor, Carly, Kevin and Sandy and is the main repair yard for the North Western Railway where all the essential components for the steam engines are made and heavy overhauls are carried out. The company's logo is a chimney with steam coming out surrounded by a large cog wheel and can be found on their locomotives, rolling stock, vehicles, and staff uniforms.
