Orphan Trains: A Hidden History

From 1854 to 1929, the “orphan trains” rolled out of New York, carrying over 250,000

kids—many not orphans—to rural farms as free labor. No adoption papers, no birth certificates,

mothers anonymously drop babies into rotating doors. Photos from the era show eerie nurseries

in grand Tartarian buildings, rows of identical toddlers in starched uniforms,

posing perfectly still like they were manufactured. What if these kids weren’t rescues,

but a repopulation effort after the mudflood wiped out populations? Entire cities empty,

survivors needing to fill the gaps. Some say the trains were part of a global reset,
