Operator Training 2022

The Trolley Operator training class is a comprehensive program with 4 weeks of combined on-site and online instruction.  You will receive hands-on training on operating the cars and handling all aspects of the railway, plus historical information and public speaking skills.  After taking your final exam and "road test" (it's like when you got your driver's license, except no steering!) you'll complete your training with at least 3 days of on the job training during our operating season.  Then you'll join our all-volunteer operating staff, who collectively keep the railroad rolling along for the enjoyment of visitors young and old.


The operator training class will be held on Saturday March 5, 12, 19 and 26 at the museum, with the final exam on April 2.  You must be 18 or will be turning 18 during the 2022 operating season to take the class in 2022.  The training fee is $100 which includes your $45 membership dues for the 2022 season.  The fee includes all printed and online training materials, your engraved name tag, and your brass hat badge engraved with your personal membership number.  The Operator class includes all of the material of the Tour Guide class.
