Summary "Cab and Caboose: The Story of a Railroad Boy" by Kirk Munroe is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around a young boy named Rodman Blake, affectionately known as "Railroad Blake," who aspires to become a railroad man. The story unfolds in a setting filled with adventure, competition, and the charm of railroad life, reflecting the excitement and challenges faced by a boy in pursuit of his dreams. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the bustling life in Euston, where Rodman wins the prestigious Railroad Cup in a bicycle race, much to the dismay of his rival, Snyder Appleby. The opening chapters set the stage for an unfolding rivalry and a cruel accusation against Rod, which leads him to leave home seeking his own path. As he navigates challenges and makes new friends, including a railroad dog named Smiler, Rod's journey begins to intertwine with the colorful world of railroads. Determined and resourceful, he faces trials that offer thrilling adventures and moral lessons about integrity and resilience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
