The sixth and final series of Chuggington (subtitled Tales from the Rails) began releasing during the summer of 2020. It is the first and only season to be produced by Herschend Entertainment Studios, following their purchase of Ludorum. Michael G. Stern (Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, Jake and the Never Land Pirates) serves as both head writer and co-executive producer, while Julie Phillips (VP of H.E.S.) serves as co-executive producer.

Prior to the new season, a series of 26 1.5-minute live action/animated hybrid shorts titled Discover Chuggington: All Aboard! where "live action kids globally will journey into the animated world of Chuggington" was produced to "to allow for increased audience interaction with the world and characters of Chuggington." The new series premiered on April 13th, 2020 in the US.

The series was "developed in partnership with Alpha Group and leadership from the broader [Herschend Enterprises] family of businesses to ensure an organic 360 franchise for the relaunch."

It premiered on Disney Junior in the US on June 29th, 2020 and premiered on Cbeebies in the UK on January 2nd, 2021.

Marketing

In addition to Alpha Group's new toyline, a massive marketing effort is being put in for Season 6. As stated in a press release, "the brand reintroduction will also be supported with refreshed and all new creative assets, a special minihub website (launched February 2020, with the kids' site set for a March 30th launch), broadcaster support, direct-to-consumer campaigns, promotional events, and global brand partnerships."

At Brand Licensing Europe 2019, Herschend met potential new partners across key catagories including publishing, secondary toys, puzzles and games, food and drink, sleepwear, apparel and bedding.

The relaunched toyline was revealed at London Toy Fair 2020, before a larger and more elaborate display was shown at New York Toy Fair 2020.

The official website was relaunched in mid-February, with the new kids site set for relaunching in early April; the site was originally intended to launch March 31st at 12am, but the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a week-long delay.

A new app titled Ready to Roll! was released on April 8th, featuring several elements from the new season; these included new US voices and selections of music from the new season.

The new website officially launched on April 10th, 2020 at 10am EDT, marking the first public showcase of the series' new branding. The site and first Discover Chuggington: All Aboard! short were shown in "Milan's Chuggington Site Launch Celebration", a official collaboration between Herschend and The MilanToon Channel on YouTube. Later in the day, an official press release was released announcing its official airdate and confirming a Summer release for Season 6.

After airdates were confirmed via television guides weeks prior, the first promo for the season, now under the subtitle Tales from the Rails premiered Tuesday, June 23rd during the Disney Junior block on Disney Channel.

On July 7th, it was announced that Herschend would be partnering with Union Pacific and Safe Kids Worldwide on a national partnership to promote rail safety. The program commences in August, and will include "a Chuggington-themed PSA campaign, dedicated website, branded in-school safety folders and activity sheets, and social media campaign."

On November 17th, it was officially announced that CBeebies, RTE, TF1, Super RTL, and TVP ABC would be renewing their distribution agreements for the new series, with an "early 2021" target for premieres; "licensing agents across the regions covering key category offerings and product mix, including publishing, secondary toys, puzzles and games, food and drink, sleepwear and apparel, and bedding" are to be announced shortly. TVP ABC in Poland would be the first to premiere the series on December 26th, 2020. The channel would also be the first to air the Celebrate Chuggington special on December 27th, 2020.

The January 2nd UK premiere of the series was lead in with the UK broadcast premieres of Snow Rescue (on Boxing Day 2020) and The Big Freeze (on January 2nd, 2021, less than an hour after the premiere of Slow Coach Koko).

In a Fall 2020 presentation for the Alpha Group toyline, an extensive marketing effort for the season was revealed for 2021; in addition to the international premieres and licensing/merchandising rollout, a "Breakout Special Promotion" and Q3 Back-To-School brand campaign titled "Train Together" were announced, with theme park activations and partnerships planned to launch through Herschend Family Entertainment (the Parks and Attractions division of Herschend Enterprises) and Herschend Live (the live entertainment division of Herschend Enterprises).

Summer 2021 saw the promotional and merchandising side of Chuggington begin to build back up; after a few months on hiatus, new episodes began airing on Disney Junior in July 2021, which coincided with the late-July public announcement of the month-long "Train Together" campaign for August, which featured a new activity every day featured on both social media and the Official Website, the premiere of Celebrate Chuggington in the US, and a music video for "Let's Train Together". Preceding this, Silver Dollar City marked the first spot to host an official Chuggington theme park tie-in, as select episodes were screened from June 12th to August 8th as part of their "Star-Spangled Summer" festival.

During this time, the Alpha Group toyline was officially listed and released, with a competition to win the Safari Park Track Set hosted in a special July edition of the UK-based FANTASTIC Magazine, and major retailers such as Amazon and Target beginning to list items for release.
