Fifteen-year-old, Jimmy Yeager's entire world is thrown into turmoil when he joins several dozen other children who are placed on an Orphan Train in New York City. As the train chugs Westward, Reverend Charles Embry, of the Children's Aid Society, promises young Jimmy that he will find him a good home.
