Gender isn't as bad, and is better than other contemporaneous books. Definitely something to discuss if you read this to a little kid. So, portrayal of race and ethnicity leaves out whole groups of peoples and portrays white and Native peoples in stereotyped ways. Don't mix this one up with "The Little Engine That Could!", although nominally they are both about trains that come through in a crisis.Many crowd scenes of people - almost all of white people then one scene of Native Americans in traditional dress - teepees, etc. Otherwise, there's no real plot here - just scenes of the countryside that the train is going through. The little red caboose is at the end of the train but has a function to fulfill. The Little Red Caboose makes "his" journey over the mountain and around the countryside.
