In September 2007, Thomas the Tank Engine left Sodor Island to visit the good folks at the Strasburg Railroad. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to meet the Really Useful Engine, A.J. loaded up his parents in the car and headed north. While there, the family got to ride in one of Thomas' coaches, took a ride in a 19th-Century train, spent the night in a caboose, toured through Amish Country, found their way through An Amazing Maize Maze, and visited the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Below are pictures we took during our journeys.
