You can learn to run a steam locomotive at Nevada Northern for $695.00. 
That gives you from 1.5 to 2 hours instruction and operating times.  You get 
in the cab after you have passed the written test, so they do not specify 
how much throttle time you get.  The diesel program is $495.00 and that is 
also two hours, including instruction and a written test.

I will teach you to operate your favorite passenger trolley at PTM.
$70 for membership/Operator for an Hour

$90 with family membership/Operator for an Hour

$40 to upgrade associate membership/Operator for an Hour

$30 to run the car for current regular members

$30 for an additional session

You will get verbal instruction and the opportunity to run our entire line, 
maybe more depending upon whether you request a single end or double end 
car.  One hour time commitment.  The dates are located on this webpage.
