The little train starts its journey up the steep hill, wheels turning steadily as it repeats its determined mantra. The summit grows closer with each chug forward, and the promise of what lies beyond pulls the engine onward. Then something strikes without warning, sending the little train tumbling back to where it started. The cycle repeats as obstacles appear again and again, knocking the train down each time it nears success. Other trains pass by, some offering advice, others simply watching the struggle. The little train faces a choice each time it lands at the bottom. The hill remains as steep as ever, and the same forces that knocked it down before still wait above. But deep in its engine burns something that refuses to quit, a force that whispers of second chances and impossible dreams. The little train must decide whether that inner voice is strong enough to overcome whatever waits on the hill.
