Langston's Train Ride is foremost an illustrated version of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," which was published by Hughes in 1921. The illustrator, Leonard Jenkins, uses collages of paintings to awe the reader's visual senses as the reader gets involved with the powerful text. The backstory of the train ride relates to children's lives as many have to travel to visit moms or dads that don't live in the same house.
