Thomas the Tank Engine Day

at Orange Empire Railroad Museum - November 9, 2002

Alex and I went to the Orange Empire Railroad Museum and road the Thomas Train. This was a really big deal for the OERM. It is their largest fundraiser. To their credit, they did a very good job. Food service was fast and the prices were reasonable. The activities were geared toward both parents and the 3-8 year old age group that are Thomas fans. 

Here are some photos from the day.

Also, go to their website. http://www.oerm.org

You have to look closely to see Alex driving. Ah, Photoshop!		We had this entire car to ourselves. Nobody wanted to change. It was a nice car. I'm decorated in AMTRAK colors, too.	Before we rode the train we walked down to the end of the yard and sat on this speeder.	Sir Topham Hatt and Alex. There was quite a line for this opportunity.
Some clown gave Alex a couple of tattoos which he had to wash off when they dried and pinched him. She was a nice clown, though.		Amazing what a fake trolley with a twisty wheel can do for your attention span.	Alex on the main line with the museum map. We got off the track before getting run over.	"Hey Pop Pop, this is cool!"
"Hi" from us.		Yep, the entire car empty except for us.	"I stepped in a mud puddle in a 40 acre field, Pop Pop."	Thomas at the station.
Thomas running down the main line.	We have matching Thomas Shirts.  Aren't we cute!
