Elkhart New York Central museum (#0153)

Elkhart New York Central museum (#0153)
Much of the equipment they had was fairly accessible, but see the next picture. This photo was taken from inside the diesel locomotive seen in the previous picture. Looking at this setup, I wonder what I was fantasizing about when I was a child and dreamed of being a train engineer….

The railroad museum in Portola, CA, which specializes in diesels, lets you rent a diesel locomotive. You can even operate it--under direct supervision by the engineer, of course! And the maximum speed is something like 10 mph. We rented a session for my dad's 70th, back in 1998. Portola's about an hour from Reno.

I've been to the museum in Portola, spent most of a day there once. I was quite impressed with it.
