Learn how trains move and who operates them in a fun and easy way for young children.
A train moves on tracks that are like long, flat roads made of metal. The wheels of the train fit perfectly on these tracks, which helps the train stay on its path. The train uses something called a engine, which is like a big, strong machine that makes the train go. The engine can be powered by different things, like electricity or gas.
The person who drives the train is called the conductor or the train driver. They sit in a special place at the front of the train and use controls like levers and buttons to make the train go faster or slower. The conductor watches the tracks ahead to make sure everything is safe while helping the passengers get to their destination.
Trains are really cool because they can carry many people and things all together!
