As of now, there are no known orphan train riders alive today. The last known orphan train rider, a woman named Lillian Dickson, passed away in 2010 at the age of 101. The orphan train movement, which took place primarily between 1854 and 1929, transported approximately 200,000 orphaned or abandoned children from the East Coast to the Midwest, and most riders were born in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
