Quick Details
Rent-a-Locomotive
Step into the cab and take the throttle of a real locomotive—up to 1,500 horsepower. Ideal for birthdays, corporate gifts, or unforgettable bucket-list experiences.
Who Can Participate?
Locomotive Rental participants must be at least 21 years of age and present a valid driver’s license. The cab of a locomotive is loud and sometimes hot. Participants mu be able to safely board and exit the locomotive cab from ground level using steep steps and navigating within the cab and along walkways.
What to Expect
Your experience will last one hour and cover the following:
- Pre-rental Briefing – Safety is rule #1 on every railroad. You’ll have a safety briefing with your engineer to start your experience.
- One-on-one instruction – Your engineer will guide you through operation of the locomotive from throttle to bell and, of course, how to blow the horn.
- Hands-on Operation – Once you’re ready, you’ll take the engineer’s seat and directly control the locomotive’s movement under supervision of your Engineer.
- Wrap-up – At the end of your time, have a post-run Q&A with your Engineer.
