Volunteers

Every wanted to drive a train? How about be a conductor? Are you interested in how things work? Would you like to work with original historic documents and study history up-close?

Then join our team of over 100 volunteers!

Every aspect of the Museum, from Conductor to Motorman to restoration specialist to archivist to museum store operations, is run by volunteers.

Be it once per week, once per month, in one of our well-established departments, or just during special events like the Pumpkin Patch each October, or the Scenic Limited trains each April, we need your help!

We provide equal opportunities for men and women.  It doesn't matter if you have special skills or not; we provide all the necessary training.  All you need is a willingness to cooperate with others, some spare time, and an interest in supporting the Museum’s mission to preserve and interpret the regional heritage of electric railways.
