Did you ever want to be Casey Jones -- only without the part about getting killed? You've probably had a childhood dream of being the engineer on a train.
On the Silver Creek and Stephenson Railroad, dreams can come true -- not the dream where you're back in high school a week into the semester and don't know what your class schedule is, and not the dream where gangsters are shooting at you with electric ray guns. You probably don't want those dreams to come true.
I refer to the dream of being the engineer on a train.
The Silver Creek and Stephenson has scheduled a day for you to take the throttle and run the train. To avoid "the part about getting killed" coaching will be provided.
Just before throttle time, we plan to run a photographer's special using the Heisler steam locomotive and the red caboose.
Consult the schedule for the specific date.
Arrangements may also be made to run throttle time on normal operating days.
For information about pricing and to reserve your spot at the throttle, email Roger Holmes at q5632@yahoo.com.
