Employment Opportunities

We are unique. We are a National Historic Landmark, a museum, a railroad, a tourist destination, and a maintenance and heavy overhaul facility for very outdated technology. And all of this on the same day, every day.

Our staff is small, and sometimes wears many hats. They all share a passion to keep the history rolling here by operating what has been acclaimed the best preserved and most original short-line railroad in America.
