[PW] Weehawken, Hoboken and Troy

[Jeanne Schramm]

   According to a poster at Booksleuth, this is the "Little Hank", by Alice
Sankey.  It is the story of Hank the handcar who gets butted off the
railroad track, rolls down a hill and the men in charge of him ask everyone,
"Excuse me, is this the Weehawken,Hoboken and Troy Railroad?"  It is a
Whitman Tell-a-Tale Book [1948].  There are plenty of copies at
