What got me was that the man loves trains and he gets to live the dream, between running real GP38-2s out of Lewistown or running what is one of the most impressive home layouts in the country.  We should all be so lucky!

I'm not sure I'm cut out for railroad work, but I do think about it sometimes when paper-pushing starts to get to me.

You don't "DRIVE" trains,you "RUN" trains. Let's get it right when talking about a "REAL" railroader.

If that's so, how come the engineer is called the "engine driver" in most of the rest of the English speaking world?  ;D  ;D  ;D
