Forced to move to a cottage in the countryside, they develop a fascination with the passing trains and form friendships with railway workers and a kind old gentleman who regularly rides the train. The siblings' adventures revolve around the railway, as they help others in need and gradually uncover the mystery behind their father's disappearance. Through their courage, kindness, and resourcefulness, the children navigate their changing circumstances with hope and resilience.
