The Ghost of the Railroad has hidden the last train here because people prefer to drive and no one takes the train anymore. Simon dons the engineer's hat the he find on the train and sets off to adventure. There is only one stop along the route, where Mr. George T. Passenger has been waiting for a long time for the train's arrival.

And so every episode, Simon picks up Mr. Passenger and heads off to adventure. Joining them is Mr. Passenger's cat Melanie. Also present in each episode is Stella, a girl with star shaped hair, who plays a different role every time.
