Tour Guides (Docents) lead visitors at the Museum on guided tours through passenger cars and around other railroad equipment.
Tours are given on the weekends. There is setup time before and take-down time after tours are completed for the day. Tour guides are also needed during the week for school groups. This is a great way to teach future generations about the history of Los Angeles.
This is a fun way to interact with visitors of all ages and practice your public speaking skills. Training and scripts are provided! Learn about the history of the equipment at Travel Town and about railroad history.
