About This Book

Determined to prove himself, Popeye takes a job test that leads him to running a rickety old railroad. The railway is anything but easy, with troublesome passengers, damaged tracks and a train struggling to keep moving.

The situation becomes a lively competition when Brutus introduces a new bus service and challenges Popeye to a race for the town's commuters. With Olive Oyl, Swee'Pea, Wimpy and his trusty spinach involved, Popeye faces a series of comic twists and challenges that test both his strength and determination.
