First off you dont "drive" a train, you run a train. The basics of a locomtives control's are "air brakes,independent brake used for just the loco,,reverser or direction handel and throttle, also some loco's have dynamic brakes wich reverse the traction moters and control the trains speed down a steep hill. <br /> <br />What an enginer will do to start a train is move the reverse handle into the desired direction, relase all the air brakes from the train, and advance the trottle to gain speed. Then he will control the trains speed with either the air brakes or throttle. Thats pretty much the basics of handling a train, alot of variables go into play but are to many to name here.
