Well.... technically, in the United States one must be trained (pardon the pun) & certified before one can be assigned to engineer a train. Steam trains also require a special license for high pressure boiler operations.
* Added - In the US, the operator's certification is required by Federal law. It is much harder to get than a typical driver's license. This is because it is a certification, not just a license, indicating that all necessary training, physical examinations, etc is complete and current.
