Where's the fire! Its not a fire, its Thomas the Tank Engine.  Thomas is number 1 with the kids and his number painted on him is the number "#1". Thomas is a beloved train in an animated/cg long running tv series.

A full scale, life size Thomas travels the country and offers " a day out with Thomas" at private railways around the country. Admission is quite pricey but the tickets usually sell out fast for an event the kids will never forget.

The best way to find the railways where Thomas will be, is to utilize MapQuest®.
