Synopsis

Katy Caboose, weary of always trailing at the end of the noisy, smoky freight train, dreams of a peaceful life amidst nature. One day, a sudden accident detaches her from the train, sending her flying off the tracks. She lands between two trees in a serene countryside, finally finding the tranquillity she longed for.
