Engine drivers are railway staff who are responsible for driving the engines. Steam engine drivers operate the controls of a steam engine, which include the regulator, which allows the steam to enter the cylinders, the reverser, which controls the direction, and the brakes, which stop or slow down the engine. Diesel and electric engine drivers operate the controls through a control stand. Most drivers are assisted by either a fireman or secondman.
Did you know? Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go is the first time where the engines can officially drive by themselves without a driver or a fireman.
