Beautiful non-fiction title on the inner workings of railroads for the little fans of trains!
In order to keep the trains running smoothly, when the last train returns to the train yard, the tamping machine gets to work!
What is this "tamping machine", you may ask?
It's a machine for repairing and maintaining the railroads. Even the slightly bump o "bents" in the rails, will become very noticeable for passengers when trains ride over them. So it is the tamping machine's job to fix them!
Often times, the important work that keeps our society running smoothly isn't visible to us. Through realistic illustrations, young readers will learn about the importance of maintenance work, and other interesting technical careers outside of "mainstream" ones.
