You may have heard rumors that IRM's "Take the Throttle" program had to be cancelled due to the great difficulty and expense of replacing all those throttles the visitors were taking. Not true! It's still very much active; for $150 anyone can sign up to run a train for an hour or so. Days when the 308 and 309 are scheduled to run are listed here, so those might be good days for you to sign up if you're interested. Call the IRM office for information.
