WTL Network
"Special Edward", the mascot of WTL Network
WTL Network, short for "Where's the Line?", was likely the most notable maker of Thomas the Tank Engine YouTube Poop in the medium's existence. His (actually their, as the network was made up of three people who collaborated on poops) poops included a wide network of running gags, and established a humor standard that subsequent poopers have aspired to match.

The main account was closed due to copyright infringement claims by HiT Entertainment, the current owners of Thomas, but most of the old poops can be found here. There is also a new account called The Poop Troupe, although they have yet to do a great deal in regards to actual YouTube Poop.

    • Mrs. Stationmaster's breakfast is now the single most important character in the series.

    • This eventually extended to being vaporized by Daisy if you called ANYONE "feeble".
  • Bow Chicka Wow Wow: The Butler came in:
    The Butler: Excuse me my dear I want you.
    The Fat Controller: (To station master) I'm sorry station master I must go at once.

  • Everyone Is Gay
  • Eye Beams: Daisy has these.
  • Fan Remake: Some of WTL Network's poops have been remade using the American Thomas narrators.
