I Have Taking A Tour Of Washington Union Station This Nice Friend Of My Mothers Named Mr Matt He Knows That I Loved Amtrak So He Took Me Down To See The NEC ACS64 Switched to a P42DC It Was Almost The Same As This And I Saw A Train Depart for Boston The Engineer Gave Me A Nice Horn. Salute As He Left The Station! Congrats Amtrak For Making Little Kids Dream Come True!
The engineers from Sacramento-Reno were Matthew Klink (engineer) and Justin Davis (secondman). Matt joined on 25th August 2000 whilst Justin joined on 4th June 2012. Also present at Sacramento were: Kevin Gniadek (9th August 2000), Ken Marty (8th December 2003; secondman on limo), Jason Loger (16th June 2006) and Matthew Phalen (5th May 2008), and the engineer at Reno was Matthew Parker (from Union Pacific Sparks).
Although my dream is to be a Norfolk southern conducter I would never want to say this boy is lucky. He has had so many heart surgerys and is lucky to be Alive
Trainman46 I know you have to be extremely ill in order for the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION to grant you a wish. My granddaughter had a wish come true through this wonderful foundation.
So glad that kid got to realize his dream being an Amtrak engineer! I know if I was his age, I'd just burst with excitement!🤩
Awesome! That young man will never forget that ride. Great job Amtrak.

That is one of the coolest dreams and experiences ever

Awesome story. Thanks for sharing it with us over the last several days Andy.
My absolute dream is to be able to climb into the cab of a P42DC and blow the horn all crazy... That lucky kid.
this makes me happy to be alive!
Ive rode in a P42DC before.. best experience EVER !
Even though made by GE they are very comfortable!
Very bro! I know a female engineer at that..
The engineer that was helping him in the cab if you seen a news clip on it i met ih person
I love Amtrak for doing this
One lucky kid, best of luck JonJon! Maybe they should have let him drive heritage units which would make it even better.
LUCKY KID! LOL! good for him. :)
Maybe he had cancer and this is his bucket list
I love the way when he waves at the camera
That truly was an incredible day when JonJon got to take the train to Reno. He truly was a brave soul.

When they can put a kid in the cab and he does his job right, but they put a skilled employee in the cab and something goes wrong.
