Drive? DRIVE? Aargh!
In the United States engineers don't "DRIVE" locomotives. That's what they do in Europe and England.
In the US of A engineers RUN locomotives.
Lotsa luck with that, Rich. Traditional US railroad terminology is all but gone on the youth-oriented train simulation forums, regardless of how I've offered insight on traditional US railroad terminology. No, the majority of younger US train enthusiasts refer to "driving" a train or the train "driver". Of course, the vast majority of European enthusiasts on those forums all refer to the US Engineers as "drivers" and "driving" the train, so our younger US enthusiasts emulate.
Globalization at work.
By the time you and I pull the pin even more of our railroading heritage will be lost.
