Love the stories, hope to make some of my own when my truck is finished.
If you want to drive the train just drive "Old Henry" on up to Baker City, Oregon and then 23 miles West on Highway 7 to McEwen and you too can drive a real steam locomotive at the "Sumpter Valley Railroad". We have several options available from an hour or so with just a locomotive after our regular weekend runs to an all day, on a Friday, at the throttle with a work train behind you. I can tell you there is nothing quite like pulling throttle on a real live steamer.
