If you know someone that's really into trains, and their one wish is to kind of "drive" a train, is it possible to get a ride in the engine car on the Disneyland Railroad? Has anyone ever seen that happen or done that?

I have ridden in the engine in California, as well as driving the Mark Twain, but I have never done anything like that in Paris. I am a little cynical, but you could always ask,

Oh right, thanks. It seems like it's the sort of experience that would depend on generous, friendly Cast Members. I can't imagine it happening in Paris.

It would probably be a bit tight in there, as it isn't huge, and they may have a H+S issue, but it is worthwhile asking CMs. It would be a great experience.

If asked gently, CMs will let you ride in the Molly Brown pilot-house.

Everything else I'm afraid is off-limits, strictly for safety reasons (in the case of the Mark Twain for a steep staircase; the train engines have plenty of hot parts and there's always somewhat of a risk due to steam pressure).

Our youngest son was lucky enough to to go in Mollys cabin. He was just one and a lovely CM passed him through the window and helped him sound the whistle if I recall correctly. That's still one of my fondest DLP memories.
