The mother of a special needs child shared her gratitude on KTZ social media. She explained that her son had always dreamed of seeing and being inside a real locomotive.

"We often came to the station just to stand and watch the trains. One such day, we approached the locomotive. Train No. 009CA departed Almaty on December 22 at 5:00 PM. We were standing there, watching, when suddenly a window opened. I explained to the driver that my son was fascinated by trains and just wanted to look. To which the driver said, 'Wait a minute,' and then the most treasured door for my son opened, and he was invited inside the locomotive," the mother wrote.

Seven-year-old Roman was able to sit in the driver's seat and was keenly interested in the functions of the locomotive's buttons and the train's speed.

"They gave him a mini-tour, and for the next two days, my son kept telling me it was a true miracle." "The emotions are still overwhelming; his dream has come true. A huge thank you to everyone who gave my son these unforgettable experiences," the mother added.
