SUMMARY:Volunteer Train Crew Training Class
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer Train Crew Training:\nExperience in railroading and railroad knowledge are not required to join the crew. We provide class room and hands-on training to ensure all volunteers have the skills and ability to work on a safe and enjoyable railroad. \nTo find out more call 218-733-7531 or email liam.hoffmann@duluthtrains.com to join the Volunteer Crew. \n2026 weekend classroom schedule:  Feb 28th\,  March 1st\,  7th\,  8th\,  21st\,  22nd    (2026)\, 8 am to 4 pm \n\n\n\n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisite Requirements: \nNo prior experience in railroading or transportation is necessary to volunteer as a crew member on the North Shore Scenic Railroad. Certification is a commitment that requires classroom and on-the-job training which the railroad provides. \nVolunteers Crewmember Requirements: \n\nmust be at least 18 years of age\nhave a willingness to work as part of a team\nhave a safety minded attitude\nbe willing to follow company policies\, state statutes\, and federal regulations\nsubmit to and pass a pre-employment drug screening as well as random tests while operating as a crew member for drug and alcohol use\npass medical\, hearing\, and vision testing\nsubmit state and federal driver’s records for review\nsubmit to criminal background check\npass written and practical tests\n\nThe administrative side of these requirements\, as well as testing\, will be addressed and completed during training. \n\n\nRailroad crew training (Brakeman\, Conductor\, Engineer) are offered in February through April each year.  See information below for more training details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPath to Certification \nStudents are required to attend 48 hours of classroom and hands-on training spread over three different weekends in February and March. Students then take written exams before proceeding to “on the job” (OJT) training. OJT training consists of a minimum of 100 hours over the course of our operating season.  The first portion of OJT training is in a controlled environment with instructors.  The remainder of OJT takes place with NSSR crew members on actual scheduled passenger trains.  New volunteers are expected to complete the 100 hours of OJT within a year.  How fast you accumulate hours is based on your availability. \nWhen students feel confident\, and management feels they are ready\, a check ride takes place allowing students to demonstrate knowledge and the ability to work safely as part of the NSSR team.  A successful check ride allows the newly certified member to sign up as a conductor or brakeman on scheduled trains. \nIf a crew member’s eventual goal is to be a locomotive engineer and operate the train\, this course is the first step in that direction. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do I sign up? \nClick here for more info or to register for the training classes.  An email will be sent confirming your registration in the class.  During the first session\, learning and testing materials will be provided.  Students are encouraged to bring a large 3-ring binder as the material given out will be punched for binder use. \nI want to volunteer\, but I’m looking for something else: \nIf you don’t think this train crew class sounds right for you\, but you’d still like to volunteer for the North Shore Scenic Railroad or Lake Superior Railroad Museum\, please reach out to us at liam.hoffmann@duluthtrains.com. We are always looking for volunteers in our maintenance shop\, museum\, and archive library. No prior experience is required for these positions.  We are always looking for individuals with skills in woodworking\, welding\, metal fabrication\, data storage\, and archive work\, etc. We encourage you to apply.

Hot dogs and root beer floats will be available for purchase. Because when you’re having a good time\, you’ve gotta ketchup. \n\nThe North Shore Scenic Railroad is proud to have more dome cars than any other railroad in the Midwest—three in total\, which officially makes us the kingDOM of domes. Tabern’s new 109-page book dives into how dome cars were dreamed up\, their fascinating history\, and how these three stars found their forever home in Duluth. \nRobert Tabern isn’t just any writer—he’s practically a rail-world traveler\, having ridden almost every mile of Amtrak (plus routes in Canada\, England\, Scotland\, France\, and Japan). He’s authored over 20 books\, including in-depth histories of famous trains like the Mark Twain Zephyr and Nebraska Zephyr. With his Midwest Rail Rangers nonprofit\, he’s dedicated to teaching passengers the stories rolling past their windows. \n\nSo\, come join us for a night that’s sure to be off the rails (in the best way possible):📚 Dome cars\, 🎷 Jazz\, 🌭 Hot dogs\, 🍺 Root beer floats\, 🚂 trains\, and wonderful people! \n📅 Thursday\, September 4\, 2025📍 North Shore Scenic Railroad Depot\, Duluth💵 FREE to attend! \nBecause really—there’s no place like Dome. 😉
