The Christmas Tree Who Loved Trains by Annie Silvestro

A pine tree grew in the farthest corner of the tree farm on a small patch of land that bordered the train track. The tree loved trains. But one morning, when a little boy picks her to be his Christmas tree, she is uprooted and brought to a cramped, dark room, far from the ZOOMING trains she loves.… On Christmas day, the tree wakes to find that a toy train set has been set up around her trunk. The little boy plays around the Christmas tree all day, and for long days after. It is a joyful season. In the spring, the tree is replanted beside the train track. It is even better than she remembered—because now, the little boy comes to visit.
