Did You Know? Educational Fun Facts
- The earliest full-scale working railway steam locomotive was built in the United Kingdom in 1804.
- Steam locomotives burn coal or wood to boil water into high-pressure steam, which pushes pistons to turn the wheels.
- Train tracks are laid on crushed stone called "ballast," which keeps the wooden ties stable and provides drainage.
Artist Coloring Tips
- Color the locomotive engine bold primary blue or dark forest green with bright gold trim.
- Leave the steam clouds soft grey or white, and use warm browns for the mountain path.
