but you are able to equate "train" with "redline" and "subway". it would be unreasonable to expect a child in a rural area with no public transportation to do so. To them a train is a long thing that passes through with 6 engines and goes toot toot tut toot at crossings. Not something that takes three minutes to travel between stations, stops for 30 seconds at each station and there are 6 stations between points A and b how long does it take to go A to B?
