About this title

Synopsis

Roxey, a lovable stray dog, wanders into the Garden City Train Station during a summer thunderstorm. The station master, Agent Heaney, adopts Roxey, but soon the dog's fun-loving ways get him into trouble. Roxey's passion for train hopping takes him away from the station where he belongs. He gets so carried away he travels by train all over Long Island. Roxey breaks railroad rules, but collects friends wherever he goes. Luckily, the Long Island Rail Road's President, Ralph Peters, has a heart. He finds the perfect solution. For Roxey, more adventures await. Meet Roxey the Railroad Dog, a real dog who lived one hundred years ago. You're sure to find yourself smiling.
