Have you ever driven a train?

When I was 13 I was a member of the Branford Electric Railway Museum. I got to do a lot of dirty work (I was small enough so that I could get to the grease doors on the traction motors and not get stuck) and also helped "restore" a big ol' Lake Shore heavy interurban trolley. I got to run it about five feet forward and five feet back. I also caught an invitation up into the cab of an ALCO diesel with the New Haven Railroad (on their way freight); about all the "operating" I was allowed to do was blow the whistle for a crossing. Still and all...pretty heady stuff for a kid...or an adult! <br /> <br />Erik
