Riding the Rails

Riding the Rails features a Keystone Ride-on-Train from the 30s-40s. A child could sit on the seat, push with his feet, steer, and ring the bell! The vintage lantern has an offset handle that allows it to swing as a traffic warning. The Casey Jones engineer’s hat completes the scene, though I only showed a portion of the hat so that the stripes would not distract from the rest of the painting.
