the fire, Grandpa tells them two stories from the old days on the

a ride in the cab of his steam locomotive: They have been caught in

newest, through tunnels, across bridges and up mountainsides, take
a fascinating ride through the world of trains in this brilliant
new book from illustrator James Gulliver Hancock. In this follow-up
to How Cities Work and How Airports Work, young readers travel
through history and around the world to find out everything they
ever wanted to know about trains. Unfold pages and lift flaps to
reveal bustling stations, old steam locomotives fuelled with coal,
and high-speed trains zooming across Japan at almost 400 miles per
hour! And that's not all. See how trains reach the top of
mountains, transport people under cities, and work beneath the sea.
And don't forget to dress up - we'll take you on some luxurious
journeys including the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to
Vladivostok, and The Ghan, which runs all the way across Australia!
