Steam Locomotive Volunteer

Steam Locomotive Volunteer: Fairbanks, Alaska, AK; The Friends of the Tanana Valley Railroad welcomes all volunteers who want to help bring Fairbanks' rail history alive. Whether it is as a museum docent, ticket seller, fireman, switch-man, conductor, engine wiper, or even engineer, we will train to suit. We have volunteers with all skill levels and knowledge. Come and blow your whistle. Our small operation provides plenty of room for advancement, and you can learn the history of the Tanana Valley Railroad and or teach it at the same time. From engine wiper to master machinist, from floor sweeper to Station Master we have we have openings or will you train to suit our openings. This is a real working railroad, at least on the days we operate. Engine persons should obtain a State of Alaska, 4th Class Boiler Operators Certificate (for engineers it is required by FTVRR). But we will help train you and get you the education needed for your certificate. Come have fun and maybe get greasy, volunteering is fun and very rewarding.
