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!
Join Lou to learn about the different types of signals that protect both individuals and trains, and explore the history and restoration of unique signals like crossing gates, wigwag signals, and semaphore signals. Plus, watch Lowell in action as he tests a signal bell.


Watch two of our volunteers working on the expansion.
Please listen as Lenny talks about the history of the train tunnel and shows pictures of how it was built.
Watch the team install a new engine into the Kansas City Southern after 20 years.
