SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.

VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - There's no gore whatsoever, and what little violence exists is often played for laughs. A train chases a man, catches him and tries to drop him off a bridge into a river (the man dangles above the water for a little while); also, a man is tossed from a windmill and soars through the air, a train tosses a man in the air and onto another train, a train throws a man several yards and he falls to the ground, a train knocks a man onto a bed, a man bumps another with his shoulder and knocks him down, and a man accidentally trips and falls (no one is ever injured). Several times, one mean train with a scary saw-toothed steel bucket threatens to destroy another weaker train; in one scene the mean train hits the weaker train with its saw-toothed bucket. A train falls off a mountainside and goes down the mountain out of control, disappearing into the ground; also, a train falls off a bridge and lands on a barge going down the river. Twice, a train tears down a building, causing debris to fall on a couple of trains inside. A girl hears scary noises in the night.
