Member Orientation and Training Day on June 26th

By Members Only

Summer is just around the corner and 2021 is looking great for Steam in the Valley and other memorable events. With this in mind, we’d like to invite members to attend our 2021 Member Training & Orientation Session on June 26th! This training is mandatory for all volunteers, so please make plans to attend if you’d like to be involved!

This all-day event at our facility in New Haven, Indiana will include general railroad safety training, car host training, an introduction for on-site operations and call for engineer and conductor trainees, and general steam locomotive servicing and crew rules. In addition, you’ll learn more about our planned operations with steam locomotive Nickel Plate Road no. 765, a new Members Day event, and more.

We’ll be grilling out for lunch, too, so please plan to spend the day with us.

To learn more about training opportunities or register, click the link or get in touch with our membership committee at members@fwrhs.org
