I like trains best. I like long trains and short trains. T rains

speed past farms and hills. T rains are fast and fun.

T rains go on railroad tracks. Their wheels spin fast.

Railroad tracks are laid from coast to coast. Mom,

Dad, and I can see lots of towns on trains.

This train has many cars. I can visit each car.

In this car, I can get a snack and pay for it.

T rains have big, soft seats. I can sit and chat with

Mom and Dad. I can nap on the seats, too.
