The Secret Railroad's next stop...

Episode: Des yeux pour croire

The Secret Railroad was a Canadian-made animated television series, about a boy named Simon who discovers a magical unused railroad in the basement of his apartment building. 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. If the episode is set underwater she might be a mermaid, if the episode is set in space she might be an alien.

The series began in 1978, as Les Voyages De Tortillard in french. The characters all had the same names except for Mr. Passenger, who was known as Monsieur Globetrotteur. The series was dubbed into English around the same time or shortly thereafter.

Thanks a billion, nordestino! I can't tell you how long I've been looking for episodes of this show. It was one of my favorite shows as a child because of the unusual animation and fantastical plotlines. If you have any others, please put them up! Also, do you have any in English?

[nordestino]

i used to love this show

too bad nobody has posted any english versions yet

I loved this show so much, in English or French, it didn't matter! Animation in the 70's was so much more varied in style and approach, so much better than the slick, cookie-cutter, bland nonsense kids get now. I feel very lucky to have been a kid when these shows aired. Even Sesame Streets animated bits were fabulously surreal in the early to mid 70's. Thanks so much for posting these, made my week. Now to find Vision On and the Goodies, and my childhood revisit will be complete.
