"When the rail meets a road, there's a crossing with a gate. / The train rushes through while the traffic has to wait." Spirited illustrations depict cartoon-style animals riding a variety of trains over a bridge and through a tunnel, to deliver freight and go on a vacation. The exuberant rhyming text and the playful art welcome would-be riders with an enthusiastic "all aboard" tone.
