Brighton Local Posted March 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2011 The weekends of March 5/6 and 12/13, Thomas the Tank Engine was/will be running on some old Southern Pacific ( Now Arizona Eastern Railway ) Tracks, down in Globe, Arizona. I decided to check it out. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to get there from my area. As Thomas would say, "It was a Splendid day"! This car looks familiar, right? It was worth the little Foaming, and this decal is REAL And myself....... with E-8 #6070, EX-Chicago Northwestern, now painted in the Southern Pacific Black Widow Scheme For the Arizona Eastern Railway For a little more in depth detail on the EX MTA LIRR Bi Levels, please see this thread: http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27632 Brighton Local Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
