Ask for her name, and if she'd like to go out for a cup a coffee.

Couldn't resist. Find the engine #, usually under the engineers cab. Then look up in a reference book, or a greenburgs guide for dates of production. I'm sure theres a site on the internet also. In fact someone has posted it before, I'm sure someone will chime in here with a website.

The first time around the track, don't go too fast.
