Our Volunteer Train enthusiasts!

Our Volunteers

Our Volunteers are true train lovers! The men and women of the KCNRR happily volunteer their time because they enjoy what they do. We have people from all backgrounds that have been brought together through a passion for trains and how they are built, run and how they bring joy to so many of ALL ages! We are always looking for new volunteers that enjoy working outside with kids and adults alike. Our volunteers always bring our visitors smiles and adventure while helping them make memories that will last a lifetime! Who doesn't love a train ride!
