На «Синей Комете»

"Sini͡ai͡a Kometa" - koroleva poezdov. Kazhdyĭ malʹchishka mechtaet poluchitʹ eë v podarok. Oskar Ogilvi i ego otet͡s vystroili v podvale pochti nastoi͡ashchui͡u Transkontinentalʹnui͡u zheleznui͡u dorogu - s gorami, kanʹonami, mostami i znamenitymi lokomotivami. No nachinaetsi͡a Velikai͡a depressii͡a, otet͡s uezzhaet v dalʹnie krai͡a iskatʹ rabotu, a "Sini͡ai͡a kometa" khodit teperʹ po relʹsam v vestibi͡ule banka… Po schastʹi͡u, Oskar podruzhilsi͡a s misterom Ėpplgeĭtom - uchitelem matematiki i posledovatelem Ėĭnshteĭna. Neuzheli pravda, chto vremi͡a pokhozhe na reku, po beregam kotoroĭ nakhodi͡atsi͡a odnovremenno vse ėpokhi? Oskar peresechët vsi͡u Ameriku - vo vremeni i prostranstve - popadët iz 1931 goda v 1941, a potom v 1926, iz Chikago v Kalifornii͡u, a potom v Nʹi͡u-Ĭork. No chem zakonchitsi͡a ėto neveroi͡atnoe puteshestvie? Smozhet li Oskar vernutʹsi͡a domoĭ?

The blue Comet is the Queen of trains. Every boy dreams of getting it as a gift. Oscar Ogilvie and his father had built an almost real Transcontinental railroad in the basement, with mountains, canyons, bridges, and famous locomotives. But the great depression begins, his father goes to distant lands to look for work, and the "Blue comet" now walks on the rails in the lobby of the Bank... fortunately, Oscar became friends with Mr. Applegate-a math teacher and follower of Einstein. Is it true that time is like a river, on the banks of which are simultaneously all ages? Oscar will travel across America-in time and space-from 1931 to 1941, and then in 1926, from Chicago to California, and then to new York. But how will this incredible journey end? Will Oscar be able to return home?
