Thomas the Tank Engine
Title:  Thomas the Tank Engine
Description:  ALCO RS-11 YDHR 3612 provides power at the rear, as Thomas the Tank Engine makes a celebrity appearance in Uxbridge. Huge turnout as the little town Northeast of Toronto hosted this special railroad visitor - much to the delight of a whole bunh of kids (and some grownups, too). Here, the train is just leaving the Uxbridge Station, built in 1904, and passes a huge empty lot where the town CO-OP Grain Elevators stood until a few years ago.
