I would have loved to have been a steam loco engineer but I wonder if my back would have held up from all of the shoveling of coal. My Dad told me, his grandfather made to engineer, but at his back's expense. I understood that, like anything, you paid your dues and worked your way up from the bottom. It was also a very dirty job, but I'm sure the conversion to oil fuel reduced the labor and dust. Seems like we glorify those days. <br /> <br />schaferv
