The Orphan Train

January31

The Orphan Train is a train that went to places with children. The children that rode the Orphan train were children from age one to seventeen. The children did not have homes or parents. That means that the children have to live on the street. The children would go on the Orphan Train and ride it to the west. The children were abandoned or homeless. Then people would come and adopt the children. Some got adopted and some did not. Some of the people adopted a child for their work. The children would get separated from their brothers and sisters. When the children got adopted they would go to the house and some of the children that got adopted were treated nicely and some did not get treated nicely. This happened in the 1854 to 1929.

 

I think that the Orphan Train is bad because most children never saw siblings again. Also because some of the children got adopted for their work. Also I think that they learned skills if they worked at the house because if they worked on the farm they would know how to farm. Also if they learned skills in cleaning the house. I also think that the Orphan Train is good because some of the children were treated nicely. Also the children would have a family to live with. Also the children would not have to live on the road.
