Thomas The Train Chugging Into RivCo! Meet Him In April

PERRIS, CA — Calling all the little locomotive lovers in your life! Thomas the Train is coming to town — and he's bringing his pal Percy with him. Both will roll into the Orange Empire Railway Museum this weekend and next in Perris.

The 'Day Out With Thomas: Big Adventures Tour 2018' allows children and their parents an opportunity to ride aboard either or both character trains. The event is being held on April 7, 8, 14 and 15.

"In addition, they will meet Sir Topham Hatt, Controller of the Railway and enjoy a day of Thomas-themed activities including crafts, photo ops, ride trolleys and much more," organizers say. "The tour, now in its 23rd year, will make 42 stops across the U.S. and Canada and is expected to welcome nearly one million passengers in 2018."

Tickets range in price from $16 to $25.
