The boxcar is loaded and ready to go. All aboard! "I have a freight train. I drive it all the time. I'm the engineer." The freight train is all loaded up and ready to go. The engineer is at the controls. It's his job to deliver the freight, and there is a lot of it. Cows and chickens are riding in the livestock car, furniture and toys in the boxcar.

In this bright, active picture book, a little boy lives out the fantasy of driving his own freight train, down to the last accurate detail.

trains

excellent book for toddlers! They love the story and pictures--especially if they love trains. My kids read it over and over.

For children who love trains.

My Freight Train is the story of a little boy who imagines he is the engineer of a modern day freight train. The story describes the various cars an engine might pull, what they are filled with, how they are connected and what a typical day is like for an engineer of such a train. My son, who is now four, has adored this book since he was two. The story ends with the boy falling asleep in the arms of his father and is a great bedtime book for a child who loves trains.
