Hey, smarty pants.

Recognize these sounds. Why, of course, it's your mom trying to feed you vegetables when you were three.

Open wide, here comes the train, choo-choo! Uh-uh! Just kidding. Those are the sounds of an actual train. And whether it's a freight train or a people train, trains have

been around for more than 200 years. Have you ever ridden on a train? Maybe it was to visit

another town or city or state. Or maybe you rode a subway underground. Whether it's a long ride or a quick trip, riding the rails sure is something special.

Did you know that there are more than 1.3 million kilometers of train tracks covering the planet?

That's more than enough track to travel to the moon and back, and then back to the moon again.

That's one small choo-choo-choo for man and one giant chug-a-chuga for mankind.

Any guess which country has the most train tracks?
