Kenneth Was Afraid the Train Would Hit Him

Kenneth Was Afraid the Train Would Hit Him

At age three Kenneth thought the train was going to run him down when it swerved as it came into the station. He took off, running out of the station and then home. Nobody could catch him, so the family had to have the train held until Kenneth was captured and brought back to the station for the family's train trip.
