The Runaway Train of Barstow

WOOOOOOOOOO WOOOO WOOOO!!!!! The common Train Horn is heard from miles away, in the little country town. Every Monday morning, Robert wakes up early, by 0500. Out of his routine for Robert, but every Monday, he pulls it off before school. After waking up, getting dressed for school, and scarfing his breakfast down, little Robert races through the woods as fast as his 10 year old feet can move! “Young man, slow down” his mother cries as he races out the screen door, nearly knocking his mother over!
