No, you probably will not become a Train Engineer for a career, but that does not mean you can’t drive one or more. Go for it!

Locomotive Rentals

Dreamed of running your own locomotive or know someone who has? Our Locomotive Rental program may be just the ticket!

Prospective engineers receive hands on training in the operation of the locomotive and then take the controls for an hour.

Locomotive rentals are available most weekends and may be booked on our website by clicking the “Book Your Next Ride Today” button just above the calendar.

(I don’t know how to use the site yet..sent a note to me..haha that was the deleted comment above.)

Hi, I was hopeing you checked out the train driving site… I almost did it for my Birthday…but it is sooooooooo hot right now, and not so sure I can climb into the cab. I’ll also say I have taken Amtrack all over and Via in Canada. Cheap travel and you just sit look and think. Good time to veg out ........ I used to drive all over the US when younger. Used my Good Anxiety to get me to go anywhere, and I did! But hit the wall 18 years ago in Jackson Hole WY got high altitude sickness and aquired a bad case of anxiety attacks..and yes that will take ya into depression. It took about 8 years and I finally found the key…since being older I knew the Difference in feelings, and I knew something was making me feel the way I did. This didn’t have to be happening! I found my thyroid going haywire, and my sugar went to diabetic..that will make ya crazy, but the thing that would make me feel the way I did…not good at all about life…was 1st WHAT I ATE and then 2nd I found a generator in the garage was leaking GASOLINE FUMES that came in the house. Got rid of the generator also the Old Car that was fumey and watched what I ate. Poof.. what a huge difference. I started to care about things again, and also could drive more than 10 miles from home again without wondering where a hospital was for help. Now 18 years since beginning and pretty much just like new again These last 8 years. Who would have thought it was gas fumes and sugar!!! I know feelings, feel real when they are happening, but knowing the difference of what is really real is what we need to hang on to. This all too shall pass….it really will…find the Key that turns you back on totally to feeling good ..you can find it! I care…
