North Carolina - N.C. Transportation Museum

Spencer, NC - At the Throttle: Steam allows you to climb into the cab and operate an authentic steam locomotive, rolling down the tracks at the N.C. Transportation Museum and historic Spencer Shops.

No previous locomotive experience is required. The program is a unique opportunity for rail fans to live their dream of running a steam engine, taking a trip back in time to the golden age of railroading.

A qualified engineer will be in the cab at all times, but participants will enjoy a full half hour operating the engine (following a safety orientation), take home a certificate and a souvenir hat.

A diesel version of the program is also available, see their website for details.
