The Railway Child

In 1871, a tiny nation, just four years old -- it's population well below the 4 million mark -- determined that it would build the world's longest railroad across empty country, much of it unexplored. This decision -- bold to the point of recklessness -- was to change the lives of every man, woman and child in Canada and alter the shape of the nation. Using primary sources -- diaries, letters, unpublished manuscripts, public documents and newspapers -- Pierre Berton has reconstructed the incredible decade of the 1870s, when Canadians of every stripe -- contractors, politicians, financiers, surveyors, workingmen, journalists and entrepreneurs -- fought for the railway, or against it. "The National Dream is above all else the story of people. It is the story of George McMullen, the brash young promoter who tried to backmail the Prime Minister; of Marcus Smith, the crusty surveyor, so suspicious of authority he thought the Governor General was speculating in railway lands; of Sanford Fleming, the great engineer who invented Standard Time but who couldn't make up his mind about the best route for the railway. All these figures, and dozens more, including the political leaders of the era, cmoe to life with all their human ambitions and failings.

A vehicle track system that is a world of transportation fueled by imagination. The Workin' Town Railway set is controlled in many ways by the child - they can push the train around by hand or use the remote control for sounds and action. For even more imaginative play, kids can drive their engines to the two factory sites (Windmill & Factory) where they can get magic powered action to deliver the finished goods to their train. They can even activate these sites manually for manipulative play. Set includes 30 pieces such as mountain ramps with a bridge, Diesel-style engine with 2 attached cars, cargo pieces, signs and 15 durable track pieces that easily snap together for many configurations. System expands with accessory items that bring new vehicles and sounds to the main set. Each sold separately.
