As far as I know it is only in the US that they are called "engineers". The rest of the English speaking world I think refers to them as "drivers". I do not know about Canada though. Our cousins in Canada live under the shadow of the US so that they often suffer from pervasive influence. As for Chuck's analogy, the firemen on trains in the days of steam did not get called stokers. Or did they? Who will come up with an instance of the fireman being referred to as the stoker?
