TOWN. BYE, PTERANODONS! ALL
ABOARD!
>> BYE, JUNIOR CONDUCTORS!
>> BYE, GILBERT!
>> BYE!
>>
>> DINOSAUR TRAIN! YEAH!
>> HI, THERE. I'M DR. SCOTT THE
PALEONTOLOGIST. THE MESOZOIC
ERA WAS THE AGE OF DINOSAURS,
AND IT LASTED MORE THAN 150
MILLION YEARS. WE DIVIDE THE
MESOZOIC INTO 3 PARTS CALLED
TIME PERIODS, AND EACH TIME
PERIOD HAS A NAME. ONE, THE
TRIASSIC TIME PERIOD.
>> TRIASSIC.
>> TWO, THE JURASSIC.
>> JURASSIC.
>> AND 3, 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
ALL ABOARD
LET'S TAKE A RIDE
ON THE DINOSAUR TRAIN
HERE SHE COMES RIGHT ON TIME
THE DINOSAUR TRAIN'S COMING
DOWN THE LINE *
>> ALL ABOARD! ALL ABOARD!
>> * RATTLE AND BANG
RUMBLE AND ROAR
SHE'S HUFFING AND A-PUFFING
LIKE A HURRICANE
LET'S TAKE A RIDE
ON THE DINOSAUR TRAIN *
>> 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!
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.
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!
AND--AND THAT'S WHY WE
CELEBRATE EVERY SUMMER WITH
TROODON TRAIN DAY.
>>
>> I JUST LOVE THE DINOSAUR
TRAIN.
>> I DO, TOO, BUDDY. THIS IS
GONNA BE THE BEST TROODON TRAIN
DAY EVER!
>>
IT SURE WILL. DON'T FORGET THE
MOST IMPORTANT PART!
>>
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.
>>
>> WOW! WE'RE RIDING THE
DINOSAUR TRAIN TO TROODON TOWN
FOR A KING CRYOLOPHOSAURUS
CONCERT.
>> YEP. LIFE IS GOOD.
>>
>> 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!
>>
>> 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
>>
>> 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.
>>
OH, THIS IS LOVELY, LORAINE.
LET'S STAKE OUT A SPOT BEFORE
ANYONE ELSE GETS HERE.
>>
I AGREE, RIGHT UP FRONT.

MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. I KNOW

MUSIC, TOO.

MISS ME?

>> 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!
DIG IN!
>> MMM, MMM!
>> DID YOU KNOW THAT SONNY BOY
HERE HAS BEEN A FAN OF KING
CRYOLOPHOSAURUS SINCE HE WAS
HATCHED? OH, I REMEMBER HIM
MARCHING UP AND DOWN, SINGING--
>> WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
MAMA. YOU DON'T--
>> OOH! HE NEVER COULD STOP
SINGING THAT SONG.
* DINOSAUR TRAIN
DINOSAUR TRAIN *
>> OH, MOM!

>> YOU NAILED IT, BABY. I'M
HIDING FROM MY FANS.
>> WHY?
>> WELL, I GUESS I JUST STARTED
FEELING NERVOUS ABOUT THE SHOW,
AND THAT MADE ME MORE NERVOUS,
AND, UH--
>> 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.
I MEAN, I GET NERVOUS BEFORE
ANY SHOW, BUT, UH, THIS IS
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!
>> MAYBE WE CAN HELP, KING.
>> 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.
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?

>> WELL, KING, YOU'RE THE
GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL SINGING
DINOSAUR EVER.

>> REALLY? BUDDY, TINY, YOU
THINK I'M THAT GOOD?

>> KING, WHEN YOU GET UP ON
THAT STAGE, JUST REMEMBER HOW
GREAT A SINGER YOU ARE. RELAX
AND ENJOY YOURSELF UP THERE.
>> WE PROMISE WE'LL BE RIGHT
THERE IN THE CROWD, ROOTING FOR
YOU.
>> HMM.
* HMM, BABY, OHH
>> BLUHHH! IT'S TIME FOR THE
CONCERT TO BEGIN. WHERE IN THE
FRILLY NECK IS KING?
>> UH, THERE'S NO SIGN OF HIM.
I'M AFRAID WE MAY HAVE TO TELL
THIS CROWD THAT HE'S NOT GONNA
SHOW UP.
>> ARE YOU SURE? THERE'S SOME
BIG MEAT-EATERS OUT THERE. THEY
CAN GET PRETTY RILED UP.
>>
>> OH!
OH, OH, OH. AHEM.
>> AND NOW, CARNIVORES,
HERBIVORES...
>> AND OMNIVORES...
>> THE ONE, THE ONLY...
>> KING CRYOLOPHOSAURUS!
>>
>> AW, THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. IT'S GREAT TO BE
HERE ON TROODON TRAIN DAY, A
CELEBRATION THAT BRINGS ALL
KINDS OF DIFFERENT DINOSAURS
TOGETHER ON A TRAIN! HOO-HA!
I'M TALKING THEROPODS,
SAUROPODS, AND LET'S HEAR IT
FOR THE HADROSAURS, BABY!
>>
>> AND THE CERATOPSIANS,
ANKYLOSAURS, AND THE
PACHYCEPHALOSAURS! COME ON!
HOO-HA! NOW I WOULDN'T BE UP
HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, MY
FANS, AND THESE TWO LITTLE FANS
STANDING RIGHT HERE NEXT TO ME.
>> HUH?
>> ALL RIGHT. LET'S TAKE CARE
OF BUSINESS.
>>
>> * EVERY DAY, I GO DOWN
TO THE STATION
LOOKING DOWN THEM SHINY TRACKS
THEN I HEAR THAT
LONESOME WHISTLE BLOWING
AND I'M SO GLAD THAT OLD TRAIN
IS COMING BACK
BECAUSE I LOVE TRAINS *
>> * WHOO WHOO
>> * I JUST LOVE TRAINS
WELL, I CAN'T EXPLAIN
I WON'T COMPLAIN
I ONLY KNOW
THAT I LOVE TRAINS, MAN *
WELL, THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I
LOVE TRAINS, BUT I ALSO LOVE
BEING A CRYOLOPHOSAURUS. TAKE
IT TO THE THEROPOD BRIDGE,
BABY. HOO-HA!
* 3-TOED FEET WITH POINTY TIPS
MAKE SOME ROOM FOR ME
TO SHAKE MY LIZARD HIPS
BIG, SHARP TEETH
FOR EATING MEAT
I TOP IT ALL OFF
WITH A VISUAL TREAT
MY CREST
YEAH, MAN, IT'S THE BEST
IT'S MADE OF BONE
I CALL IT MY OWN
CRYLOPHOSAURUS CREST, MAN *
HOO-HA! WELL, THANK YOU. LET'S
TAKE IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. THIS
ONE GOES OUT TO...
* A PTERANODON
>>
>> * AND A HADROSAUR
>> HOOOOT.
>> * CAME TO SEE THE SHOW
>> BLUHHH-HUHHH!
>> * WAITED ALL THE AFTERNOON
SAT IN THE FRONT ROW *
>>
>> * CARNIVORES
HERBIVORES *
>> AND OMNIVORES!
>> * DINOS BIG AND SMALL
I MAY HIDE OUT
IN ANTARCTICA
BUT I LOVE YOU ALL *
>>
>> WELL, THANK YOU, BUT I GOT
TO TELL YOU, THERE'S ONE THING
I LOVE EVEN MORE, MORE THAN MY
FANS AND EVEN MORE THAN MY
CRYOLOPHOSAURUS CREST, AND
THAT'S THE...
* DINOSAUR TRAIN
DINOSAUR TRAIN
GONNA RIDE
THE DINOSAUR TRAIN *
HUH!
>>
>> HOO-HA!
HOO-HA!
>> HI, THERE. I'M DR. SCOTT THE
PALEONTOLOGIST, AND THIS
IS--WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
>> 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!
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO YELL
THAT. THANK YOU.
>> REMEMBER, GET OUTSIDE, GET
INTO TRAINS, AND MAKE YOUR OWN
DISCOVERIES.
>> 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!
>> * THEROPODS HAVE 3-TOED FEET
LOTS OF TEETH FOR EATING MEAT
BIG, LONG TAILS TO BALANCE WELL
AND THEROPODS HAVE A GREAT
SENSE OF SMELL *
>> GO, THEROPODS, GO!
>> WE LOVE PLAYING GAMES!
>> LIKE PTERANODON
DINOSAUR TRAIN *
>> * DINOSAUR TRAIN
DINOSAUR TRAIN
WE'RE GONNA RIDE
