The true story of a little dog who had adventure in his heart and the rattle of the rails in his soul.
In the early days of the railway, when shiny new tracks were
opening vast areas of Australia, there was an adventurous dog who was part of
it all. As the tracks were being laid he was there on the train - riding in his
favourite spot on top of the Yankee engine. Everyone knew him. He was Bob the
Railway Dog.
