FREIGHT TRAIN
illustrated by Donald Crews
As trains do, this one simply—splendidly simply—comes and goes.
Starting with an empty track, Crews sets down and names the six different ears: each a different primer-bright color, all together a streaking rainbow when pulled along by the moving black engine. Through tunnel and city and darkness and daylight moves the freight train, "Going, going—gone," leaving behind a trail of smoke and a strong, sharp impression.
Clean, clear, brillant design, with no drag.
