The train in the book consistently disobeys instructions throughout the book resulting in the complete loss of its cargo and this results in the cargo handler getting in trouble. The book ends with the train going off again at high speed with the comment "that's the trouble with trains". While the train does avoid hurting people directly, we do see the cargo from the train fly off through the countryside. In all, a few pages added in showing the train learning its lesson, perhaps with some adjustment of the attitudes depicted through the anthropomorphized train throughout would fix this book enough to let my child read it. The high quality of the artwork makes this even more unfortunate since with minor changes, it could be a good book for children.
