It’s difficult to resist the nonfictional premise of Aurand Harris’ “The Orphan Train,” now at the Rainbow Company. It’s 1914. New York City has an epidemic problem with unwanted children living on the streets. The New York Children’s Aid Society organizes a train trip to take the kids across the country in search of loving homes. Some of the children are abused. Some are rejected outright. A few are lucky enough to find a nurturing environment.
