All About Trains For Kids

Description by OLDIES.com:

Almost 60 minutes of all-new rail adventures ? real trains, toy trains, steamers, and diesels, plus new music by James Coffey. We take you back to the days when gorgeous steam locomotives like the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha pounded the rails. You'll learn how to build a train layout, take a rare peek inside a steel mill and see the role trains play. We visit Don Zarobsky who, along with his dad, built a layout in the late 30s. Over the years, the layout was expanded for Don's sons and grandchildren, and we see it today, packed with trains, buildings, lights, and memories.

You'll have great fun listening to the colorful language of steam-era railroad workers. See the Union Pacific's Challenger ride the rails in Wyoming, plus many more steamers including the N&W J, the story of a lucky dog who became the mascot of the US Postal Department and rode on mail trains and boats all over the world...

Plus lots more, including a poignant segment on cabooses with a new song by James Coffey - "Where have all the Cabooses Gone?"
