      BTW I hope none of this comes across as insensitive; I am aware this is White Collar Tourism and what seems cute and fun to me was (and is) hard and sometimes dangerous work for many.

      My locomotive is a Western Pacific #917D. It is a freight locomotive. It was built in 1950, and weighs 115 tons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_F7

      This was really amazing. The best/scariest/most fascinating 6mph in my life. (The last photo is my instructor Bill.) I need to get driving, but I’ll post more facts/photos/videos later!pic.twitter.com/5xwhRdUGO4

      The locomotive UI! Everything is operated by hand with levers, including throttle (acceleration) and multiple brakes. There are no pedals? The throttle goes from 0–8, but we never exceeded two, which felt too fast for me anyway.pic.twitter.com/d1B0fRFiYo

      On most more recent locomotives, the dead man's switch would be a foot pedal. Also, I love that you're calling it the UI. I've never heard that word in this context, but it actually fits really well.

      I saw a big pedal! Maybe they disconnected that. But also, I’m surprised. Wouldn’t a pedal be ineffective in some cases a driver is incapacitated?

      After they introduced pedals, train drivers quickly discovered they could just put their bags on the pedals and forget about it. So what you have nowadays is either a pedal that you have to push down, but not all the way, or a pedal you have to release periodically.
