Just for context I try to reply to y’all’s comments cause I was the kid in the video! But I did love this moment and I will never forget it. The crew were super friendly to me and treated me like I was a very important part to the operation of the whole thing! The conductor was my favorite guy he gave me a tour of the locomotive shop and let me on the front of the locomotive while it was moving and he told me “ I usually don’t let people do it. But you are special your a vip” his exact words very awesome people and I give respect for there volunteering when they don’t have to!

These two are generations apart and have so much in common and respect for each other, it's wonderful to watch. The older engineer is looking at himself decades ago.

I saw myself in that young fellow. Made me remember my first cab ride on the Central Vermont between Palmer and White River Jct, VT and back when I was 16 years old. And then the first time an engineer put me in the seat to run.

Bad you didn't have mics on so its hard for my to understand what the instructor says. Very nice and interresting video. The Boy ist so lucky . EDIT: The automaticly created subs are working well. Maybe youtubes voice reader can filter out the engine sound and everything. I am happy i understand more now. Please let the boy drive more often with more cams and better sound setup. I love when young kids have interest in technik and specially in old stuff. they all should get a chance to ride one of this. sorry my english is bad.
