Promotion of Railroad Safety Education through Kid’s Stories

Keith Nile Corman’s children’s illustrated book Katie and Kenny Tour the Railroad contribute to the promotion of railroad safety. Through this simple narrative, everyone is reminded about how important it is to always think of safety not only in railroads but also in other public places where there are activities and people. Children ages 4-8 can already absorb lessons and Corman’s book is actually a great material for educating children on trains, railroads, and its safety lessons. The train industry is still one of the most important public transport systems in the United States and there is a great need to educate everyone on the importance of safety in public transport.

Trains are vital to the country’s daily existence, economy, and culture. Keith Niles Corman’s work is a simple reminder of the great contribution of trains and railways to American society.
