The children in the town of Willow Creek wait anxiously each week for the little train that brings supplies to Mr. Hermans general store. The conductor, Mr. Mike, always brings special surprises to pass out to the children, and after the supplies are unloaded, he lets the children board the train for a ride. The children find out from Mr. Mike that the little train, the VonAaron Express, will no longer be coming to their town to bring supplies, and they become very upset. The parents observe how sad the children are, so they come together to figure out how they can get the VonAaron Express back into their town, so they can bring happiness back to their children.
