I don't think its magnets.  There's a pretty good space - maybe 1/4" - 
between the likely magnet positions which significantly reduces their 
attracting force.  Also, a close look shows the trucks have been replaced 
with something shorter and closer to the ends, which makes me think the
cars 
aren't rolling on the rails.  My guess is that's it's like an upside down 
version of the old Marx "Honeymoon Express" toy with a slot between the 
rails.  Geezer
