Trains and Railways. Children's Encyclopedia

What types of trains are there? Why is the road called iron? Is it possible to lay rails on ice or under water?

In the new book in the children's encyclopedia series, Chevostik and Uncle Kuzya will learn about the history and structure of trains, railways and the subway.

They will travel along the longest railway line in the world, visit the opening of the first London Underground station and the factory where carriages are made, learn the difference between a stagecoach and a charabanc (and what it is!), why trains do not collide and how freight is transported by rail. Our heroes will also learn about railway professions and even look into the driver's cabin.

Who is Chevostik?
Chevostik is a cute character from a famous audio project. Today, kids know him from encyclopedias. The series continues to publish books that explain the structure of the world to kids.
Children perceive information much better when a fairy-tale character tells them about the world. That is why girls and boys love such encyclopedias so much.
Chevostik, together with Uncle Kuzya, makes amazing journeys into the world of sciences: physics, chemistry, astronomy, anatomy, geology and others. He tells children about great geographical discoveries, the conquest of space and magical chemical transformations.
