West by Orphan Train (2014) is a documentary produced by Colleen Krantz & Clark Kidder.

The documentary uses archival material, re-enactments, expert interviews, and 1st-hand accounts from Orphan Train riders to explore the origins of the movement as well as the experiences of children forced to ride the train.

One of the Orphan Trider riders was Stanley Cornell who speaks of his experience (and that of his brother’s) living in an orphanage, being compelled to ride the Orphan Train, and of living in 6 different homes before stability with a family in Texas.
