Straight of Mid-World! I think Blaine the Mono (out of Stephen King's The Waste Lands) would love to get to know Charlie the Choo-Choo and his engineer. Think creepy Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel!
kellyhager's review against another edition
This picture book is about Charlie, the creepy train from the Dark Tower series.
This book itself isn't creepy (at least text-wise; the illustrations of Charlie are still unsettling, to put it mildly).
If you're a fan of the Dark Tower series and are curious about the Mid-World Railway Company (clever, right?), check this out. It'll be the best ten minutes you've had in ages.

"Don't ask me silly questions, I won't play silly games.
I'm just a simple choo-choo train, and I'll always be the same.
I only want to race along, beneath the bright blue sky,
and be a happy choo-choo train, until the day I die."
Charlie The Choo-Choo is a children's book based on a book detailed in Stephen King's Dark Tower series and is written under the pseudonym of Beryl Evans.
Ever since I heard this was being released, I was SO SO excited - who doesn't love Charlie the Choo-Choo? An ingenious idea! So I settled down to read this story this afternoon (clearly envisaging future scenarios where I force my future children to listen to me read this book - no touching, of course), and was just enchanted by how amazing it was!
A fun, quick read with absolutely wonderful illustrations. Charlie The Choo-Choo looks a bit scheming and sinister for me...but he is nothing but pleasant in this tale. Can't fault it - it's exactly what it should be!
