I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE SOME INSTRUCTION ON FIRING STEAM LOCOMOTIVES FROM MEMBERS OF THE HEBER VALLEY RAILROAD. HAVING JUST SEPARATED FROM THE TRAIN WE WERE HEADED DOWN TO THE SWITCH TO DO A RUN-AROUND. THE ENGINE IS FORMER UNION PACIFIC CONSOLIDATION 618. I'M NOT SURE THEY CONSIDERED ME TRAINABLE, BUT I HAD A GREAT TIME.
