The play tells the story of nine orphans on an "orphan train" that left New York City in 1914. The train travels to Midwestern towns in search of homes, any homes, anywhere for the orphaned and unwanted children. And there are the men and women hoping for children. The lonesome whistle wails as the train chugs between encounters of anxiety, laughter, wistfulness, rejection and acceptance. Eight stories unfold, each a memorable surprise.
