		This field is the most problematical as locomotives often move between sites (railtours, loans etc) and hence may not be at the location shown.

	Bluebell Railway Locomotive Dept Volunteers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Members of the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society are eligible to volunteer to work in the Locomotive Department.
		All volunteers start as "cleaners", and as the name suggests, the main task is to clean the engines each day to a high standard, but many other labouring jobs connected with the servicing and daily maintenance of steam engines are also required.
		Working on the footplate of a steam engine requires you to be able to "do as you're told" as the most junior member of the team, and because we all work together and "live" together, this engenders a very close-knit social scene "after hours".

		But, the real reason that little train made it to the top of the hill was because a locomotive engineer was at the controls.
		Locomotive engineers operate diesel-electric locomotives, rail diesel cars (RDC) and passenger control cars, interpreting train orders, timetables, train signals, and railway rules and regulations to transport freight or passengers.
		Each train is unique in the way it reacts to acceleration, braking, curves, rail conditions, the number of cars, etc. The engineer must be alert to the condition of his or her train, what's happening on the tracks, and the rules of the rails.
