What was your most memorable "cab ride" and why?

I volunteer at a railway museum, so I get "cab rides" sometimes, but the only actually on a railroad was in January. <br /> <br />I was riding the southbound Surfliner from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles. The train was P-A-C-K-E-D with UCSB students, so they opened up the cab car, and the engineer left the door to the cab compartment open, so I waltzed over with my timetable and scanner. The train was late because of all the rain, and then we operated at restricted speed for a while because of a joint track-and-time authority, and we were even later. I talked with the engineer quite a bit, and at the end of the run, he gave me the track bulletins we had been operating under (there were quite a few). I technically had my feet on the floor of the passenger compartment, but it was essentially a cab ride, though I was standing. <br />-Daniel Parks
