The CABOOSE is gone. Freight trains dropped it in the 1980s once a sensor on the last car could do the job, and most kids have only seen one in a picture book. The rest of the list still runs every day: a LOCOMOTIVE, a string of FREIGHT cars, a BOXCAR, a TUNNEL, a WHISTLE of two long, one short, one long at every crossing. This word puzzle keeps the CONDUCTOR and the TICKET for the passenger side.
Frequently asked questions
What did the CABOOSE do?
It carried the crew who watched the train from the rear for shifting loads or hot axles. Electronic sensors replaced them, and railroads sold the cars off.
Is this train word search for preschoolers?
Slightly older. TRACKS and TICKET are easy, but LOCOMOTIVE and CONDUCTOR are long, so it fits first to third grade, or younger with an adult reading the list.
