Freight Train

Freight Train shows a vehicle many children encounter in everyday life. Vehicle motifs fascinate kids early on. Coloring them naturally sparks conversations about how a fire truck works, what an excavator does, or why some trains no longer have a smokestack.

Use bright colors for the cars – each one can be a different color! The tracks look more realistic in silver-gray or dark gray. Color the wheels black and shiny. For the cargo, use different colors depending on the car type: brown for coal, red for metal containers, yellow for grain. You can highlight details like doors and rivets with fine black lines. Shadows under the cars add depth.
