| The three stories in this issue — "Outlaw Ambush," "Prison Train," and "The Great Mail Race" — are adapted from television episodes. |
|
| Super nice artwork by the underappreciated Bill Ziegler. He obviously loved drawing those trains. |
|
| Alan Hale Jr. could drive a train AND captain a small tour boat! A man of many talents. Although the second one didn't turn out too well. |
