“With the SD40 locomotive coupled to the Christmas Train, Obie blasted the locomotive’s horn twice as the rescue train rumbled out of the railroad yard.
“Next stop Willow Falls!” Obie shouted. “We’re going to help a whole lot of people.”
~ Excerpt from The Willow Falls Christmas Train

Author William Trombello, vice president of Technical Training Consultants Inc, one of the world’s leaders in locomotive training, is the only expert on trains and locomotives to write children’s books about trains.

His recently published book The Willow Falls Christmas Train(for children 4 to 8 years old), inspired by a true story, is likewise the only children’s book to have won the unpublished category over all genres at the New York, Hollywood, and New England Book Festivals. The story also received runner-up honors in the children’s category at the London Book Festival.

In this memorable tale of crisis, courage, and good will, Engineer Obie and his fellow railroaders take readers on a desperate rescue mission to save Christmas in Willow Falls. Aided by one reliable old locomotive, the kind-hearted railroaders perform a Christmas Eve miracle that unexpectedly results in a change of heart that saves more than Christmas.
