Night Train (character)

Night Train is Roosevelt Franklin's dog.

He appears in The Sesame Street Family Album (reprinted in The Sesame Street Library Volume 2), in the story "Roosevelt Franklin Washes His Dog." Roosevelt struggles to heft the large, uncooperative canine in the tub, and ends up dousing himself in the process.

The character is named for an instrumental R&B standard famously recorded by James Brown in the 1960s.
