The engine driver drives the train that takes Toad away from prison and into the country. He’s a kind man who initially takes pity on Toad because he believes Toad’s washerwoman disguise and the story that Toad has naughty kids he must get home to. Even when the engine driver learns the truth, he still agrees to help Toad evade capture—he doesn’t like cars and thinks Toad should be punished, but he hates policemen telling him what to do and animals crying even more.
