Get hired-in by a major Railroad company ( like CSX) , work your way up and take the Engineers Test.
I don't believe you can unless you are an employee..
I'm a certified locomotive engineer. Can I run the train? Lol
You have to be an employee, but on a children's birthday, they will have them be an "engineer for the day", but they can not drive it.
I do not think you are able to drive the train without being employed to do so.
I dont know.
Probably applying and becoming employed there lol
