A Businessman Mocked the Old Man's Engineer Cap. Two Hours Later, He Was Driving the Train.

Mile 1182 on a Montana mountain pass, a January blizzard, and a passenger train that stops where no train should ever stop. Walt rode this line as an engineer for forty years. Tonight he is just a retired passenger in a faded cap, laughed at by a man in a cashmere coat. When the young engineer up front collapses and the radio goes dead, three hundred people are sitting on a two-percent grade with frozen brakes. And the only man aboard who knows every curve by name is the one they called Grandpa. Have you ever been underestimated because of your age? Tell us what happened. #trainstory #oldman #blizzard #respect #lifelessons
