[4K] Day Out With Thomas at the Henry Ford Museum
Thomas the Tank Engine operates at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, MI. There are a number of places that operate Day Out With Thomas events in the United States, but Henry Ford is the only location you can see a fully operable Thomas operating on a turntable.
It's an interesting contrast. This fully operable Thomas typically runs at the Strasburg Rail Road in Strasburg, PA, where he is their smallest steam engine operating with a normal sized train pushing nine wooden coaches on a decent grade. At Henry Ford, he is the most powerful operating locomotive available. Thomas makes easy work around the loop of track around Greenfield Village, which recreates the 1860s era of Henry Ford's childhood.
