Why do people refer to an engineer as a driver and running a train as driving a train ?

Well, in my language the english words "drive, ride, and run" are same as the word "drive". <br />Exept when you talk about horses, then there is a separate word for ride, but we don't say ride a bike, because ride is only used for animals. <br /> <br />So, sometimes when I speak english associations about words come from my mother language, that's why I usually make a mistake and say drive a train. <br /> <br />But I don't think it makes much of a difference anyway, because you understand what I mean when I say drive a train. <br /> <br /> <br />
