Thomas & Friends[]
While travelling around the world, Thomaa, Nia and Ace went through the canyon on their way to San Francisco Docks. Halfway through, Ace decided the two tank engines should have a race to see who's the fastest but really it was to get him to the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Thomas and Ace encountered Beau here twice; By crashing into his stone train and after derailing near a mine shaft. In the end, Beau brought help to re-rail the friends and the trucks.
