The Western Pacific Museum in Portola, California offers cab rides with your choice of several different locomotives. There is even a two hour special where you get one hour in one diesel, the next hour in a different engine. Choices include a ALCo switcher, EMD F-7, GP-9, and a GP-20, and at least one other. Portola is on the former WP, now UP, main line NW of Reno at the east end of the Feather River Canyon. This museum, utilizing former WP buildings and yards, is well worth a visit. I don't believe that the Sacramento museum has offered cab rides, but could be wrong. I am a member of the museum, but my volunteer time is spent in the restoration area. While I visit Bruce's Train Shop in Sacramento I didn't happen to be the lucky guy that got the D&RGW steam that was on consignment. There were indeed some great buys.
