Many heritage railways in the UK offer such a service – a quick search for “Steam Locomotive Driing Experience” brings up loads.
There is also the Wolstyn experience www.thewolsztynexperience.org in Poland, which allows you to drive a steam locomotive in regular service.
Russian Railways have steam locomotive trips. Schedule and programme varies, I’m yet to try it myself.
Doesn’t seem to have an English version.

I know three places in Germany where this is possible:
The first two offer active participation, while the last one only allows standing in the locomotive.
I would guess that some other steam locomotive clubs would allow others to participate as well, if you ask.
