Someone got their childhood dream! Mine was shattered when I found out that my dad didn't drive trains (An electrical engineer is apparently not the same thing). Since then, I've ridden on many trains, but I haven't driven one (yet).

We did this http://wplives.org/ral.html http://wplives.org/ral.html with our kids, yes they let you actually drive the locomotive around, it was freakin' awesome!

  Wow! ... I live in central PA and we're blessed with quite a few "steam excursions" and there's a local historical rail society too. Unfortunately, none of them allow you to "drive the train".

    Come to England. Steam train driving sessions are a common way for the restored branch lines to raise funds.

  Thanks for that link! I just forward it to my wife and a bunch of friends we sometimes travel with. Thanks!
