Run a real locomotive - Volunteer at SMRS

[Robert MacDowell]

The Southern Michigan Railroad Society is looking for volunteers!

Especially if you want to be an engineer, conductor, brakeman or ticket agent, you don't want to miss the upcoming orientation and training. It's coming up this Saturday, March 23, at 9am.

It's not at the normal location. It's at the new and future site, at 301 W. Bartlett, Clinton, Michigan. Clinton is on US-12 west of Ypsilanti.

The Southern Michigan Railroad Society is a non-profit, all-volunteer operating railroad museum. It owns the New York Central Jackson Branch railroad. Now, with the large site, it has a chance to become one of the best railroad museums in the region. Imagine the possibilities! And yo'll have a chance to tour the facility.

Since it's a non-profit organization, all of your support goes directly to support the cause! Your membership, donations and mileage are also tax-deductible.

Cost is $7.00 to cover lunch and materials. You'll also want to be a Southern Michigan Railroad member, which is $25.00 for the entire year. (It's required to operate on the railroad due to insurance.)

In the left column there is a link titled "Equipment." You must have missed it.

I hope the meeting went well today. I am very angry that I was unable to attend, I would have loved to see the new facility. I'll be out there volunteering this summer. I hope to see you guys out there, either volunteering , railfanning, or riding the train!
