Author Bio:
Roberta Baxter has written more than 50 nonfiction books for children. This book was inspired by her childhood. Her house was across a road and a field from a freight yard. Locomotives switched back and forth and banged their cars together as they lengthened their trains. This happened several times a day, including what the family called the “night-night” train that pulled out and sped up for its journey just as they were settling into bed. She has always loved trains.
