Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to run a steam locomotive? Well, you can! Come with us as Trains.com visits the Nevada Northern Railway for their “Be the Engineer” program, where trained crews will teach you how to run a steam locomotive. This short clip is from our feature-length “Introduction to Steam Locomotives: How They Work” DVD, a 104-minute program available at the Kalmbach Hobby Store, where we get into the technical details of steam locomotives, how they work, and how they operate.
