Trainiac

From wooden trains in Pop’s workshop to a powerful locomotive headed south, Miller’s love of trains connects a childhood full of memories with a future full of possibilities.
Trainiac: Miller’s Real Life and Big Dreams brings two stories together in one illustrated book. In the fictional adventure, The Long Ride Home, Miller guides a locomotive from Maine toward Alabama, encountering unexpected delays, new friends, and a surprising connection to his childhood. In Growing Up with Miller, real family photographs and personal memories reveal the little helper behind those big dreams.
Written by his grandfather, John Alexander—better known as Pop—this book celebrates curiosity, hard work, kindness, and the family and faith that help a boy become a fine young man. It’s a story about following your dreams while remembering the people who helped you along the way.
