Climb aboard for a ride that's sure to have you holding your breath at times. We'll read firsthand accounts of narrow escapes that required incredible courage and determination - among them will be Harriet Jacobs' story and the narratives recorded by William Still. You'll also meet Lewis Hayden and his daring defense of fugitive William Craft. Then, find out just where the "trains" went, who conducted them, and what it meant to be a "station master." Learn, too, the symbols and language known only to those escaping and those harboring the escapees. Ready now - there'll be no whistle call - this train travels in silence.
