Your Hand is on the Throttle PDF Print

Hand is on the Throttle ProgramHave you dreamed of running your own steam locomotive or know someone who has? The NSRM 'Your Hand is on the Throttle' program may be just the ticket!

This is your opportunity to have your hand on the throttle and learn to operate a historic steam locomotive.  The NSRM engineer program allows you to actually operate a steam locomotive under the supervision of qualified NSRM personnel. Prospective engineers receive hands-on training in the operation of the locomotive and then take the controls for an hour. The NSRM engineer program makes for a full and unique experience you won't get anywhere else.  And remember, it also makes a great gift for that special someone who thought they've done everything!
