Nathaniel was then allowed to sound the horn as they drove past a whistle board, a sign that marks a location where a train driver is required to sound the horn.
The Briggs family were also given VIP First Class travel on their trip to and from York.
Nathaniel said: “Thanks for the cab ride, Steve, I liked tooting the horn.”
Mr Whitehead said: “It was lovely to meet Nathaniel and his father Anthony.
“Nathaniel is a fantastic young boy; he was brilliant at pointing out the signals during the cab rides and was a natural at spotting the whistle board signs.
“I’m glad we could offer Nathaniel this experience, it’s always great to meet people who could be part of the next railway generation.”
