The first standard gauge locomotive I ever ran was the 103 back in December of 2015. By 2016, I was considered 'Certified' to operate at the Pueblo Railway Museum. I was privileged to spend my entire 21st birthday situated at the throttle of 102, as it fell on day 2 of the 2016 Railroad Days celebration. Paul is a fantastic teacher. Keep up the good work CoSpringer!

@@NickValdezRRPhotography Yessir! Paul is one of the best guys I know, absolutely awesome teacher. First engine I ran was 104 in March of this year, then 102 in May. Due to my age I can't be at the throttle without anyone in the cab sadly, still an awesome place with awesome people.

I'm almost 60. My great grandfather and 2 of his sons (my great uncles) all worked for the railroad. Even though I'm a college graduate professional, I've always had a thing for trains so I guess it's in the blood. When I saw that kid running this train I was like...how cool is that?????? I'd STILL love to try it just once! Preferably an older locomotive and not these new ones where the computer does basically everything.

Very cool, we used to let children drive (under supervision) our passenger trains, doing up to 30kph

That’s how I learned. When I decided to make it my career, running was second nature.

Correction on the headline: In North American railroading, we do not "drive" locomotives; we "run" locomotives and trains. In old-time slang, a locomotive engineer was called a "runner" (in addition to other less polite names:-)
