Review by Kirkus Book Review

As trains do, this one simply--splendidly simply--comes and goes. Starting with an empty track, Crews sets down and names the six different ears: each a different primer-bright color, all together a streaking rainbow when pulled along by the moving black engine. Through tunnel and city and darkness and daylight moves the freight train, ""Going, going--gone,"" leaving behind a trail of smoke and a strong, sharp impression. Clean, clear, brillant design, with no drag. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
