Did she go on to become one in that movie? All I saw Lansbury as, at the beginning, the dance hall mavin. I guess I should have watched it longer. I did see Judy Garland get on as a Harvey Girl.:-)

Q, thanks for the info. I love getting on trains for short times like that. When my daughter babysat two little boys in CT we took them from New London to Mystic and they loved it. A short ride, but so much fun through their eyes.

There is also a novel called Orphan Train which was quite good. Came out years ago.
