Jenny Agutter, who played Bobbie in a 1970 film version, stars alongside Sir Richard Attenborough as Mother in this Masterpiece Theater presentation of Edith Nesbit's popular novel. Set in Yorkshire at the dawn of the 20th century, RAILWAY CHILDREN is the story of three children whose father has been wrongfully imprisoned for espionage, though they know nothing of this; their mother refuses to tell them why the police took away their father. So, the children spend their free time exploring the mystery of their father's disappearance and gazing at the nearby railroad in the hope that it will somehow bring them an answer. After they help prevent an accident on the railroad, the children are befriended by a mysterious old gentleman (Attenborough) who may be able to provide some answers.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseSingle Side - Single LayerFull Frame - 1.33Interactive Features: Scene AccessDVD-ROM Features: Web Link

She abandons her current life and travels there, becoming the nursemaid to the strange son of a rich dysfunctional family. However, things take another unusual turn as she begins to see things at the mansion, and comes to believe it haunted. Is her young charge in need of rescue, or have the disastrous events of her life finally unhinged her sanity completely?
