After Tragedy, Young Girl Shipped West On 'Orphan Train' - from NPR, an interview with Christina Baker Kline, author of a novel entitled, "Orphan Train".

Kline's book is fictional, but it's based on the very true history of thousands of children shipped to the Midwest. Kline joins NPR's Rachel Martin to discuss the history of the trains, how young girls were often passed over by families and the most surprising fact she learned from train riders.
