Akron, OH, May 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Everybody's favorite storybook train is headed for the Akron area. This month, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in Peninsula, Ohio, will be welcoming Thomas the Tank Engine™ fans to the Day Out with Thomas™ Mystery on the Rails Tour 2012. For two back-to-back weekends in May, kids will be able to help the world's #1 Engine find clues and solve a mystery!

The day of fun features a 25-minute ride with a full size replica of Thomas the Tank Engine™ and a photo op meet-and-greet appearance by the Sir Topham Hatt character -- the controller of Thomas' railway.
