Probably not since most news reports tend to indicate that the conductor is driving the train, not the engineer.Factual question: He evidently wanted a cab ride, but the article says we will serve as Conductor. I know Amtrak would hesitate to give him a cab ride, but I hope they're allowing it anyway. I guess my question is whether the person who wrote the article knows that the Conductor of a passenger train does not normally ride in the cab.
Excellent news.A post on train orders has a pic of the "kid engineer" with his red bandana( old railroad tradition) and engineer hat and says that he will be the engineer on # 5 on Friday and will spend the weekend in Reno where he will be the engineer on the steamer on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad Tourist Train! Outstanding!
Yes, an image of that has been posted on a couple of places in the internet...Facebook and Trainorders come to mind.A friend of mine at Amtrak claims that the train orders even have his name printed on them
Kick ass video! Warms your heart.
Fantastic, thanks for posting that! I loved it!
I see no reason to turn this otherwise wonderful thread into yet another spiritual soapbox.Let's all keep him in our prayers--there's a reason he got to do this.
