Volunteer Spotlight

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. 

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!

Expansion update

Our construction is almost there, with over 1500 ft of new track laid!


We are also just $20k away from receiving our $125k matching grant. Because of the grant, any donation you make is essentially doubled! Give $10 and it becomes $20; give $50 and it turns into $100.


We know we've asked, maybe you've been waiting, but NOW is the time to make an impact that will literally impact GENERATIONS. Please consider making a tax deductible donation to our on-profit 501c3 organization.  


For more information, including the mailing address for checks, please see our expansion page.
