choo choo

Toddler's rail vehicle

Choo choo imitates the sound of a steam locomotive, used especially when speaking to young children: Here comes the choo choo train!

The term appears in children's songs and stories.

By extension, a choo choo is a train itself in child-directed speech: Want to ride the choo choo?
