Niamh was placed on a train, all of the kids on this train were taken to Minnesota in the search of a new home, the train was named “The Orphan Train”. For most of the children on the “Orphan Train”, this was their last chance to find a family that could live with. On the train, Niamh met a lot of new friends, all of the children on the train related to each other well because they had been living in the same conditions all of their lives. Niamh met a teenage boy, who had been living on the streets his whole life, his name was Dutchy. Dutchy had been taken to a Children’s Aid Society when he was younger and lived there ever since. The two new friends had made a promise that they would always be friends and try to stay in touch with each other.
