I just crossed off a bucket list item!
One of the things I've always been interested in is trains, especially the locomotives. Whether big or small, diesel or steam, I enjoy them all. With me being a curious individual, I've wondered what it might be like to operate a massive steel beast like a locomotive, but little did I know I'd actually get that opportunity.

This all came to be because in fall of 2023 my friend and fellow content creator @JamieMakin attended a first time event called "hand on the throttle" in which she had the opportunity to operate a steam locomotive. Once I watched her video on that, I instantly knew that I'd also like the opportunity to do that, so I asked her to keep me posted if and when the next event would take place.

Fast forward to spring of 2024 and the time has come where I get to be an engineer for a day and operate a steam locomotive. Also joining me for this experience is @rj78productions88. The people over at the Pioneer Tunnel Mine attraction & the team with project 113 helped make this dream come true.
