Peter had been waiting patiently to get his engine fixed. And right when they get to it, theres a knock on the front door. Two gentlemen arrive, and take their father away. Soon enough, the three siblings—Roberta, Peter, and young Phyllis—leave the house along with their mother and move to live in the country in a cottage near the railway station. They did not guess then how they would grow to love the railway, and how soon it would become the centre of their New life, nor what wonders and changes it would bring to them . . . Join Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis as they wave to the 9.15 train, which they call the Green Dragon, hoping that it would take their love to their father.
