At the dawn of the 20th century, following their father's arrest on suspicion of betraying state secrets, the three Waterbury children—Bobbie, Phyllis and Peter—move with their mother to Yorkshire, where they find themselves involved in unexpected dramas along the railway by their new home.
Steam engines and rolling Yorkshire hills provide a lush, nostalgic backdrop for this heartwarming tale of family resilience. Amidst the soot and whistle of the tracks, three siblings discover magic and mystery in their new life.
