This book is about how a kid named Mike wants to be a train worker, but he is too young. Only black people were allowed to be train workers. One day Mike was fixing the train tracks at night and his dad caught him, so Mike was grounded for a week. The next day when mike was fixing the tracks, the train came out of the mountain on fire. Mike didn't notice until he smelled something burning. When the train got closer and closer and closer and, something happened....
Did Mike ever learn his lesson?
