1. Cargo Train At A Loading Station Coloring Sheet

This cargo train has a steam engine!
While steam engines used to be the norm for trains, they became much less used in the 1960s due to the rise of diesel and electric-powered locomotives which are more efficient.
When coloring the steam from the train, you could stick some cotton wool over it to add a 3D element to the page.

A passenger train is the perfect way to traverse the countryside, as it allows you to take in the view while relaxing in your compartment.
