Fun Facts About the Trains on This Page

  • Steam locomotive. Burns coal or wood to boil water, and the steam pushes the wheels. Locomotion No. 1 pulled the first train on England’s Stockton and Darlington Railway on 27 September 1825.
  • Freight train. Carries goods instead of passengers, like the crates, rocks and farm cars on this page. Union Pacific’s Big Boy steam locomotives are about 133 feet long and weigh 1.2 million pounds.
  • Bullet train. Japan’s Tokaido Shinkansen opened on 1 October 1964, the first railway built to run regularly at over 200 km/h (124 mph). The long pointed nose helps it slice through the air.
  • Fastest steam train. Mallard, a British locomotive, reached 126 mph in 1938. That steam record still stands.

Color Ideas From Real Trains

There’s no wrong way to color a train, but if your child wants it to look real, try these:

  • Steam engines: many were black with red wheels or trim. Mallard was painted garter blue with red wheels.
  • Freight cars: reddish-brown is classic, often called “boxcar red”.
  • Bullet train: Japan’s Tokaido line trains are white with blue stripes.
  • Smoke and steam: leave it white, or shade it light gray and blue.

5 Things to Do With Your Train Pages

  1. Make a wall train. Color several pages, cut out the cars, and tape them in a line across the wall. Add a car every week.
  2. Count the cars. How many cars, wheels or windows does the train have? Color every third window red.
  3. Spot the letters and numbers. Use the ABC Steam Train and the Smiling 123 Train to practice letters and counting.
  4. Tell the train’s story. Where is it going? Who is on board? Write one sentence under the picture.
  5. Play station. Make paper tickets, line up chairs as cars, and let the colored engine lead the way.
