Union Pacific 844, a steam locomotive built in 1944. It was awesome. And oh yeah, climbing up that ladder in 4-inch heels and a miniskirt=win.

Did you get to use the train whistle? I think that would be cool.

I have it on video. For Czar's eyes only. :D

Seriously, it was comical. I didn't know I would be riding in this train yesterday, or I would have dressed appropriately. But when the Union Pacific people offered to let me ride, there was no way in hell I was turning it down.

So when the engineer was giving me the safety instruction of "be sure to maintain three points of contact with the ladder at all times," I was wondering how I was going to be able to do that and simultaneously make sure my skirt didn't fly up in back and expose my cute Victoria's Secret underwear to a crowd of 500 cheering, flag-waving third graders. Somehow I managed, but the video of me doing it is pretty hilarious.

Just a typical day in my life.

Sure. Tease us with mini-skirts, 4-inch heels and comedy gold, but we can't see the video. :( If it came with beer, it would have been perfect.
