Tales of the Red Caboose

Tales of the Red Caboose was a short-lived primetime television series that aired on the American Broadcasting Company television network, premiering October 29, 1948 and running until January 14, 1949.

Synopsis
The 15-minute series, sponsored by Lionel Trains, was broadcast on ABC television on Fridays at 7:30 to 7:45pm ET from October 29, 1948 to January 14, 1949. The narrator, Don Magee, told railroad lore as model trains raced around railroad tracks.
