I'm mrs. Conductor. Bluhhh!
[Giggling] hi! I'm gilbert. Ask me
Anything about trains, and I mean anything.
Gilbert, is that really you?!
No. I was just pretending to be gilbert. Sorry, shiny, but
We are gonna see gilbert today on the dinosaur train.
Yeah! Today's the junior conductors jamboree!
What's a jamboree?
It's when a bunch of creatures all doing the same
Thing get together.
Wow! That sounds like fun!
And gilbert's gonna be there?
Yup!
Um, buddy and tiny, even though don and I aren't junior
Conductors yet, can we come along with you?
And maybe see gilbert?
Hee hee hee!
Let's all go to the jamboree. It will be a
Vacation! I'll get us a ticket at pteranodon station.
[Cheering] gilbert!
Yay!
Tickets!
Tickets, please. Good morning, pteranodon family.
Good morning, mr. Conductor!
Buddy, tiny, I believe you're missing something.
Your junior conductor hats!
Wear them proudly.
Thanks!
Um, mr. Conductor, even though I'm not a junior
Conductor, I really wanted to come along with buddy and tiny.
And me, too.
Shiny and don, I am delighted that you're both here

I do believe you are shinier than ever today.
Ha ha ha! Oh, gilbert, thanks!
Friends, here's today's plan. We're all riding to the
Roundhouse at troodon town at the end of the cretaceous time
Period, then all the way through the mesozoic era to the
Roundhouse...
At the other end of the track in the triassic time
Period?
Exactumundo! We're traveling from roundhouse to roundhouse.
In the jamboree spirit, we'll be picking up other friends
Along the way.
It's the ultimate dinosaur train adventure!
Hold onto your hats, folks!
Time tunnel! Time tunnel approaching!
Next stop, troodon town. That's right! Troodon town next stop.
Roundhouse! Junior conductors, come on out and watch us turn
The train around.
[Cheering] go, laura, go!
[Grunting] ah, the roundhouse! Does it
Get any better than this?
No, gilbert! This is the best ever!
All right! The train is officially turned. We're ready
To ride to the triassic, but first, a cretaceous friend!
Spiky stygimoloch!
Hi, junior conductors!
[Whistle blows] you know what's great about
Being on this junior conductor jamboree? Everyone is conductor
For the day.
You mean, we do real conductor jobs?
We do! Ready, junior conductors?
Yeah!

Meat. Come and get your favorite treat!
Hello! Oh. I'm very hungry.
What do you recommend?
Mom, you've see the cart before.
She's pretending, don.
Oh, right. Well, mrs.
Pteranodon, who I've never seen before, I think you'd like a
Fishwich.
Hmm. Sounds tasty. I'll take one! Thank you, mr. The junior
Conductor.
You're welcome. She seems nice.
Look. I see an ankylosaurus.
Good eyes again, buddy!
Let's explore some more!
You're conductors for the day, ladies, so pull down the
Screen and tell us about the cretaceous.
The cretaceous time period has some of the biggest
Dinosaurs like t. Rex and ankylosaurus.
And smaller ones like velociraptor.
Excellent, tiny and shiny!
Hey, junior conductors. How about a jamboree sing-along?
Yeah! Let's sing the dinosaur train song?

Speaking of eating in the dining car.
Mother, we were not actually speaking--
Did I ever tell you about the time when sonny boy here
Was a wee lad, little fella, he ate too much right here in this
Very dining car?
Why, no. It sounds fascinating.
Well, his belly hurt so much, he yelled out loud, and
The passengers thought they were hearing the train whistle.

Ohh.
True story!
Oh, my!
Bluhhh! Ha ha!
Thank you, mother. Moving right along. Ahem. Next stop,

Town. Bye, pteranodons! All aboard!
Bye, junior conductors!
Bye, gilbert!
Bye!
[Cheering] dinosaur train! Yeah!
Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott the paleontologist. The mesozoic
Era was the age of dinosaurs, and it lasted more than
Million years. We divide the mesozoic into parts called
Time periods, and each time period has a name. One, the
Triassic time period.
Triassic.
Two, the jurassic.
Jurassic.
And , the cretaceous.
Cretaceous.
The triassic was a hot and dry time over most of the
Earth. The first dinosaurs appeared during this time
Period along with the first mammals, turtles, and
Pterosaurs. During the jurassic time period, the earth was
Still so warm that there were no ice caps at the north or
South poles. This was the time of dinosaur giants like
Brachiosaurs, stegosaurus, and allosaurus, and during the
Cretaceous, the last time period of the mesozoic era, the
First flowers and bees appeared. This was also the
Time of triceratops and parasaurolophus, velociraptor
And t. Rex.
Yay! T. Rex!
So the earth is always changing, and different
Dinosaurs lived at different time periods in the mesozoic
Era. Ok. Remember, get outside, get into nature, and make your
Own discoveries.
♪ I'm not the biggest dinosaur
In fact, I'm kind of tiny I don't have teeth
Or scary claws but it doesn't make me whiney
Whenever I meet someone new I march right up, and what I do
Is say, "hello, there nice to meet you
My name is tiny" I've met a lot of dinosaurs
And some of them are scary and when I stand right next
To them I'm kind of ordinary
But if I'm friendly they are, too
And when I say "it's nice to meet you"
Then they say "well, hey, the same to you
It's nice to meet you, tiny" ♪ ♪ all aboard

[Cheering] hello, folks. It's me the
Conductor. Today, the pteranodon family is taking the
Train to troodon town for a concert by king
Cryolophosaurus, so come on along with me on the dinosaur
Train. All aboard!
[Whistle blows] tickets! Tickets, please!
Hello, pteranodons a--and t.
Rex.
Hello, mr. Conductor!
Tickets, tickets, please!
Oh. Um-- I've been holding on to
These all week. Here you are, mr. Conductor.
Excited about troodon train day? We all are. In fact, let's
All take a look at this!
It's that time of year, folks.
[Whistle blows] troodon train day! Dinosaurs
From all over the mesozoic era come to troodon town to
Celebrate the fabulous dinosaur train. Built by the amazingly
Smart troodons, the dinosaur train travels through time,
Taking its passengers to the triassic, jurassic, and
Cretaceous time periods in comfort and style.
Ooh! Ahh!
Here comes my favorite part, how a steam engine works!
You see, the dinosaur train is a steam locomotive. Its mighty
Engine is powered by fuel burnt in a firebox. The fuel heats
Water in a boiler, which boils the water into steam. That hot
Steam pushes on a piston sliding inside a cylinder. The
Piston goes up and down, and that makes the huge wheels go
Round and round, and they make the dinosaur train go. Whoo
Whoo! All aboard!
[Sniffles] and--and that's why we
Celebrate every summer with troodon train day.
[Cheering] I just love the dinosaur
Train.
I do, too, buddy. This is gonna be the best troodon train
Day ever!
[Squawk] it sure will. Don't forget the
Most important part!
[Hoot] the king cryolophosaurus
Concert!
Absolutely right, mrs. "P" and mrs. "L". We're also very
Excited about king's long-awaited return to the
Stage to sing his hit songs!
He's usually hiding way out in the jurassic antarctic, so this
Will be a rare and special performance.
[Sighs] wow! We're riding the
Dinosaur train to troodon town for a king cryolophosaurus
Concert.
Yep. Life is good.
[Sighs] [clang]
Heh heh!
We're gonna have the time of our lives. Time. Time! It's
Time for the time tunnel! Time tunnel approaching, folks!
Troodon town station in another part of the cretaceous
Time period! Ahem. Friends, dinosaurs, and assorted
Creatures, welcome to troodon train day!
[Cheering] today, we celebrate the
Dinosaur train because it brings us all together on
Fabulous adventures all over the mesozoic and all around the
World. It gets us out into nature, where we can make our
Own dinosaur discoveries [indistinct chatter]
Well, I don't know about you, but I want to discover
Where the king cryolophosaurus concert is going to happen!
Excellent thought, mrs.
Lambeosaurus. I'll take you there posthaste. Walk this way.
[Squawk] oh, this is lovely, loraine.
Let's stake out a spot before anyone else gets here.
[Hoot] I agree, right up front.
Mr. Conductor, thanks so much for your help. I know
You're a big fan of the king's music, too.
Bluhhh! He certainly is!
Bluhhh! I certainly am!
Mother?!
Well, hello, son! Did you miss me?
Hello, mrs. Conductor!
And hello, pteranodons and lambeosaurus. Here to see the
Show, are you? Ooh! I've been camped here all night, but I'm
Happy to share my picnic spot with you folks.
Oh, wonderful!
How nice.
Yeah. I'm having some greens and some carrion and some bugs!

But, king, there's a huge crowd of dinosaurs down at the
Waterfall waiting for you to sing.
That's exactly what I'm talking about, buddy. There's a
Huge crowd of dinosaurs.
So you're feeling shy about the crowd of dinosaurs?
Well, yeah, baby. I haven't sung my songs in a long time.
I'm feeling a little extra shy.

Troodon train day, man. I got the worst stage fright I've
Ever had. I feel like catching the first train back to
Antarctica. One way, return to sender, baby. Hoo-ha!

Really?
Yeah. Like, whenever I have to do something I'm nervous
About, I take a deep breath, and then I think about
Something that will make me feel more brave.
Uh, like what?
Hmm. Maybe you could imagine all the dinosaurs in the crowd
Wearing clothes.
[Crickets chirping] it was just an idea.
Ok. How about thinking about something that you really like?
Well, uh, trains. I love trains, man!
There you go. Think about trains and how much you love
Them!
Ok. I guess that's an idea.
And you like to sing, don't you?

It's the dinosaur train!
Now I'm an expert on dinosaurs and fossils, so I
Don't know much about trains, but I know someone who does.
Point of fact--the front car of the dinosaur train is called
The steam engine. When the water in the engine gets hot,
It turns into steam just like water boiling in a tea kettle.
Inside the engine, the water expands. That means it gets
Bigger and bigger, making a lot of pressure. Pressure is a
Force that builds up in the engine and pushes the train's
Wheels. Those wheels start turning, and it goes down the
Tracks.
Ok. Well, thanks for the train information.
All aboard!
[Train whistle blows] I've always wanted to yell
That. Thank you.
Remember, get outside, get into trains, and make your own
Discoveries.
[Whistle blows] did you know that the
Dinosaur train travels everywhere in the mesozoic era?
Let's look at the map. There was the triassic, jurassic, and
Cretaceous time periods. Let's visit the cretaceous. Many new
Kinds of flowers and insects appeared during this time. The
Most dinosaurs, like tyrannosaurus rex, and flying
Creatures, like pteranodons, lived in the cretaceous, and
That's just one of the stops on the dinosaur train!
