![]() ![]() We’re offering you the chance to take a ride along as part of our exclusive in-cab experiences. In the heyday of steam railroading, every locomotive cab had an extra seat for the head-end brakeman to ride. Each participant will receive a certificate and pin. Participants must be 18 years of age or older. After a short orientation, you will get to follow the instructions of an experienced steam locomotive fireman to see if you have what it takes! This rare 30-minute experience provides the opportunity to serve as a locomotive fireman and will give you a glimpse of what it takes to keep the pressure up. Reading the fire, anticipating the demand for steam and the amount of water needed to make up for what is being used are all skills that take time for a good fireman to develop. You might think that firing a steam locomotive is nothing more than shoveling coal, but there is so much more to it than that. ![]() Participants must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid Driver’s License. You’ll receive an orientation to the controls and then you’ll be off, taking direction from a certified steam locomotive engineer. Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to sit in the engineer’s seat and pull open the throttle and feel the power of a steam locomotive at your fingertips? This 30-minute experience puts you in control of the rails on America’s oldest operating railroad. Choose from among the hand-on-the-throttle Engineer’s seat, the Fireman’s seat, or the Jump seat to create the memory of a lifetime!
