Thomas the Tank Engine at Tarxien feast

The smiling face of Thomas the Tank Engine is set to delight adults and children alike tonight when the train will be lit aglow by fireworks during the pyrotechnic display at Tarxien’s feast. Tarxien is celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Holy Doctrine. The train, which was carefully and painstakingly constructed by members of the Għaqda Soċjali Madonna tad-Duttrina, is also an attempt at establishing a brand new national record: the largest mechanised train propelled by fireworks, as well as the longest distance covered by said train. The stationary train is waiting in Palm Street, and is expected to be lit up at 11pm.
