There have been a lot of good suggestions for your video. I have a couple more that might be good. Why not include some information about how trains deliver the goods that people use everyday? You could say how important the railroads are in making sure we get the things we need. The food children eat, the cars their parents drive and the toys they play with all probably at some point were hauled on a train. Another good idea would be to include a section with a steam train. I don't live anywhere near Atlanta, so I'm not sure exactly where there would be an operating steam locomotive in the area, but there definetly should be one somewhere. Kids especially like steam trains. There's the smoke, the sound and the visual aspect as well of seeing all the big wheels and connecting rods moving together. It would be good to mention how inportant the steam locomotive was in the very early days of the railroad. Before the railroad, in the days of the pioneers, to travel across the country would be a very long and difficult journey. The railroad changed the all of that. There are plenty of good sources of information on steam locomotives and the early railroads and it shoudn't at all be hard to find information that you'd need. Also, what about toy and model trains? Many children have train sets and it's a hobby that's loved by people of all ages. There are many model railroad clubs out there and definetly should be one in your area. You could talk about the miniature worlds that people with with towns, mountains, etc. all with trains running through them. The best of luck to you in producing this video. I'm sure it will be a success. Kids love trains. I'm looking forward to hearing how it works out. Mitchell
