* 2002년 An ALA Notable Book
* A Publisher's Weekly Best Children's Book of the Year
어린아이들은 기차 건널목에서 화물열차가 지나가면 화물차가 전부 몇칸이 달려 있는지 세는 것을 좋아하는 것은 우리나라나 미국이나 마찬가지인가 봅니다. 시골의 조그만 마을에 있는 기차 건널목에 차단기가 내려지고, 길고 긴 화물열차가 지나갑니다.(실제로 미국의 화물열차는 끝도 없이 이어지는 수많은 화물칸을 달고 갑니다) 아이들은 건널목 양쪽에 서서 지나가는 화물차의 갯수를 셉니다. 8, 9, 10...... 22, 23..... 34, 35.....59, 60..... 88.... 97 기관차가 맨 앞에 가고, 그 뒤로 박스카, 곤돌라, 콘테이너, 탱크차, 가축운반열차, 자동차운반열차, 강철관 운반열차, 구리광석운반열차, 급행 화물열차칸, 석탄차, 다시 박스카가 차례로 이어서 지나가고 마지막으로 승무원들이 타는 Caboose열차가 지나가면 오랫동안 내려져 있던 건널목의 차단기가 올라갑니다. 건널목 양쪽에서 기차가 지나가기를 기다리던 아이들은 반갑게 손을 흔들고, 지루함을 못참고 꾸벅꾸벅 졸던 강아지를 태운 승용차도 갈길을 재촉하지요...
Donald Crews의 Freight Train이 세부적인 묘사는 생략하고 기차의 특성만을 간결하게 보여주는 그림으로 되어 있다면, 이 책에서 보여주는 화물열차는 마치 눈 앞에 진짜 기차가 소리를 내며 지나가는 듯이 사실감 넘치게 그려져 있습니다. 기차를 좋아하는 어린아이들에게는 그림을 보는 것만으로도 큰 기쁨을 줄 수 있는 책입니다.

Publishers Weekly
This pairing of Booth's nearly 50-year-old poem (originally published in Letter from a Distant Land) with the exceedingly lifelike gouache paintings of first-time illustrator Ibatoulline is right on track. The artist in style and treatment resembles a Norman Rockwell, but his more painterly approach exudes emotion. He firmly places readers at a rural rail crossing (based on a real one in Brunswick, Maine) as a freight train barrels past. Booth's lyric verse ably suggests the rhythm of the moving boxcars: "Warning whistle, bellclang,/ engine eating steam,/ engineer waving,/ a fast-freight dream." Italicized numbers interspersed throughout the poem keep track intermittently of the trains 100 cars: "fifty-nine, sixty,/ hoppers of coke,/ Anaconda copper,/ hotbox smoke." As Booth introduces a veritable railroad lexicon, Russian-born Ibatoulline treats readers to 16 different angles of the same crossing and creates a sense of the mid-20th-century community through which the train briefly passes. The opening spread presents a bird's-eye view of the railroad junction with only smoke preceding the train in the distance. A few pages later, the artist shows the iron behemoth from a child's vantage, as a boy waves up to the cheery conductor. One entire painting is the reflection of two boxcars in a waiting car's windshield. A group of friends, separated by the train and seen waving through its couplings, unite after the train departs. This slice of Americana is sure to chug full steam ahead into the hearts of train enthusiasts young and old.
Children's Literature
Booth's original poem from 1953 rumbles with the rhythm of the passing freight train as it goes by the crossing gate. The different kinds of cars with different names bring a taste of faraway places to the town as the count goes on, ending, as it always did, with the caboose and the raising of the gate. Ibatoulline's almost photographic realism fills the large double pages with romantic, painted portraits of boxcars, cattle cars with curious cattle, all parading before our eyes. The kids playing nearby and the adults hanging around waiting on this hot summer day all add a sense of emotional nostalgia to the simple but striking visual narrative. There is no paper jacket, only a thin paper band, like the red and white striped crossing gate, covering the old steam engine on the cover and displaying the title and usual jacket information.
School Library Journal
Breathtakingly vivid gouache illustrations reminiscent of Norman Rockwell's work will draw children into this nostalgic poem about freight trains. "STOP LOOK LISTEN" is boldly printed across the first spread, a landscape of trees and grass with a close-up view of a railroad crossing. The eye follows the track to reveal thick billows of steam and smoke just beyond a curve in the background. Anticipation builds as, on the next spread, an old-fashioned, black steam engine appears. Readers will be amazed by its beauty when it pulls into the station. The gate comes down, the whistle blows, the bell clangs, and the engineer waves. The large-print text runs along the bottom of the page. The freight cars are named, and where they originated, as they roll by, "B&M boxcar,/-Frisco gondola,/-Erie and Wabash-." Children look at cars filled with coal, period automobiles, and cattle that seem real enough to touch. Then, as the engine puffs out smoke, the 100 cars circle toward a distant tunnel. The caboose passes, and everyday life resumes. This book captures a magnificent piece of American industrial and small-town history. It is excellent for reading independently or teamed with Donald Crews's Freight Train (Greenwillow, 1978) for a winning program.
Kirkus Reviews
The locomotive sounds its old siren song in this pairing of a poem from Booth's first book and spectacularly realistic art from Russia-born Ibatoulline. As the poet tallies passing freight cars-"B&M boxcar, / boxcar again, / Frisco gondola, / eight-nine-ten?-an old-time, small town gathering of children and motorists gather at the crossing to watch, wait, and wave at last as the red caboose rumbles by. Ibatoulline skillfully captures a sense of the rolling stock's hugeness, depicts rust and machinery with magnificent precision, gives his human cast a cheery, Norman Rockwell-style wholesomeness, and backs off in one spread to show all 100 cars (count them) spiraling into a tunnel. He is not so able at capturing a feeling of motion, however, so the train looks like it's standing still, and since he has chosen to view the cars closeup, the entire shape of each is seldom discernible. All who have succumbed to the allure of the railroad will be stopped in their own tracks by this eye-filling, show-stopping debut showcase, but younger trainiacs may still prefer to hop aboard Donald Crews's Freight Train (1978).
