The Orphan（孤儿）Trains began 75 years ago. They helped thousands of children without parents or homes. Some children were adopted by Christian families. Those who were not adopted were the official foster children.
Most Orphan Train children found good homes with loving Christian families. But a few ended up with families who used the children as servants.
