Train Attendant
Hey, all you fans of Monty Python and steam locomotives: go find Michael Palin's New Europe travel video series, episode 6 entitled From Pole to Pole. He sits at the controls of a steam locomotive for a regularly scheduled run in Poland. The segment made me appreciate the complexity of operating one of these great machines.
And in episode 3, Wild East, he travels through wooded mountains on a small steam logging train, complete with a contingent of lumberjacks. Of course, the temptation was too much - watch it and you'll see what I mean! Better yet, search YouTube for "I'm a Lumberjack" before watching this episode.
I got these vids via NetFlix, but as they are BBC productions you may be able to find them elsewhere.
Happy watching!
