The Railroads are Dying

One thing I've wondered is, are there any younger people who know how to, or have any interest in, driving a steam locomotive? Steam trains still seem to be popular as tourist attractions throughout the world. Heck, look how many theme parks have them running. But whenever I go to, say, Disneyland, even there the engineers on their steam engines mostly seem to be elderly. What's going to happen when they die? I've never met any teenager or college-age person who's expressed any interests in working a steam engine. Obviously if we want to have steam engines running throughout the world into this new millenium, some people are going to have to "take the throttle".
