Not everyone knows what they’re called. People call them conductors even though that’s a different job. Knowing that engineers drive the train is a dorky bit of knowledge.

Then I got to thinking, as if it's not the easiest job in the world. I bet I could do it. And I am convinced. I believe - with every fibre of my being - if you gave me the morning with an EnGiNeEr I could be doing his job by lunchtime.

I doubt it would take the whole morning. It’s not a complicated job but it requires constant attention and has got to get boring. It also sucks when you hit and kill people, which every engineer does if they stay on the job long enough.
