In September I started to Volunteer with the Southeastern Railway Museum. I have found a very nice and friendly group of serious train lovers. I stepped up and I am serving as the coordinator for the operation of the Park Train. I make sure we have enough volunteers to run the train safely and take children of all ages for rides on this historic train. It is like playing with big model trains and learning about the railroad. Come join the fun there are lots of jobs available.
