Thomas the Tank Engine’s visit to Calgary postponed due to ‘mechanical issue’

Thomas the Tank Engine's visit to Calgary on May 3 and 4 has been rescheduled after encountering an 'unforseen mechanical issue.'. Global News

As Thomas the Tank Engine said, “Sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and that’s OK.”

The “really useful engine’s” visit to Calgary’s Heritage Park — originally planned for May 3 and 4— has been rescheduled to June 7 and 8.

In a statement, Heritage Park said “an unforeseen mechanical issue affecting the train’s availability” affected its ability to “safely deliver the full experience our guests expect and deserve.”

The park also noted its dedication to using “historically accurate, steam-era locomotives,” adding that these engines sometimes require more care than their modern counterparts.
