    About this ebook

    Bobber and his friends didn't mean to run away, but on their own in the locomotives and steam of Kansas City's turn-of-the-century train yards, adventures just seem to happen! Further and further they go into this exciting world of trains, as the children spend five days exploring the vast fields of the behemoth railway system. But are they prepared for the dangers that may await?
