This toy train is made of iron, unusual for today’s age. Most children toys are made of plastic. The train is very detailed. The set contains a head car, two cargo cars, and a caboose.There is also a conductor figure standing on the first car. In total, the train is 24.5 inches in length. The polish is still somewhat noticeable, however, it is starting to wear off. On the side of the cargo cars it depicts the initials C.P. R.R. This most likely represents the Central Pacific Railroad which was in operation from 1861-1885 and was the western portion of the first transcontinental railroad.
