EXCELLENT choice, HighPlainsDrifter! I'd like to, too. Got to ride in the locomotive of an old steam train and watched the crew work. It was awesome!

LoL it not totally out there I choose a massive dump truck lol.

I like your choice I always wonder when they get it going do they just sit and relax on a rural straight away and the view they have going over a long railroad bridge over a huge valley or river would be amazing
