About these train coloring pages

Old steam engines and sleek modern trains share the track in these train coloring pages. The easy designs, a little engine puffing smoke and a passenger train with long windows, suit ages 3 to 5. Ages 6 to 8 can color a freight train on a trestle bridge and a parent and child boarding at a platform, while hard and expert pages show a mountain viaduct, a detailed vintage locomotive and a patterned countryside.

Trains are a natural fit for a transportation unit: compare the steam engine with the modern train and talk about how travel has changed. For younger kids, cut out several colored train cars and glue them into one long train on a strip of paper.

Also in spring coloring pages.

Train facts to share

  1. Steam locomotives boil water into steam, which pushes pistons that turn the wheels.
  2. Some high-speed trains carry passengers at more than 180 miles per hour.
  3. The caboose was the last car on many freight trains and gave the crew a place to keep watch.

Color idea: Color steam engines in black or deep green with red wheels and gold trim, and use soft grays for the smoke so it looks light.

Train coloring page questions

Which train page is best for toddlers?

The little steam engine has a big smokestack, round puffs of smoke and large wheels with thick outlines. It suits ages 3 to 5, and the modern passenger train is a good second page with simple long windows.

What kinds of trains are included?

You will find steam locomotives, a modern passenger train and a freight train with a boxcar, tank car and caboose. That mix makes the set useful for comparing old and new trains.

How do I color a steam engine realistically?

Many steam engines were painted black, and some railways chose deep green, red or blue, often with brass or gold details. Use gray for steam, leaving white highlights in each puff, and add a little orange glow near the firebox.
