Ken -
What a great experience! I have never had the glory of being at the throttle of a steam locomotive.
I have ridden behind steam locomotives when I could do so over the years. I think my two best experiences were riding the Animas River Valley on the Durango and Silverton narrow gauge lone and a short (mileage) and long (duration) trip from Inchon to Osan on a steam narrow gauge railway in Korea. But I really envy you the experience of riding on the footplate and being in charge of a steam locomotive!
