In this program, emmy award winning host Steve Pool takes us on a tour of a real working diesel, and shows us how a train really operates. After talking to a real train engineer, we'll learn all kinds of fascinating information about trains, and what it's like to work on one. Then it's off for a ride on a huge old steam locomotive, where we'll actually sit up front in the engine compartment as it chugs down the line. The sights and sound of this tape will thrill kids of all ages!
