(3) 1-3 Illustrated by C. F. Payne. Bee, an orphan raising eight siblings in the West in 1893, longs to engineer the trains on which she loads freight, and one day her chance arrives. Caricatures in the illustrations effectively complement this well-told narrative. The author's note has an accompanying photograph of women railroad workers in California who inspired the story.
