I'd definitely take the cab ride. A number of years ago I was able to ride in the control car of a push pull commuter train going into Chicago. And this summer I was asked if I would like to help run a 24" gauge live steam park engine for a day. I can still feel the vibrations in the the of my pants as I whistled off, set the reverse lever all the way forward, eased back on the throttle, and tried not to spin the drivers. Most of the time the park ran a gasoline powered engine. But later on in the summer, I received another call asking if I would like to help out with the steam engine again. I was there bright and early. I'll take the cab ride every time.
