About

The Run One Program is your chance to become a train engineer or streetcar operator. It lets you get behind the controls of some of our favorite equipment. When you arrive at the Museum for your experience you will be instructed by a qualified engineer. You will look over the locomotive or streetcar and learn how it works. Then you will climb into the driver’s seat and learn how to take it out on our mainline or loop line for a full hour.

Each rental includes one engineer’s cap and certificate of accomplishment plus a huge sense of control! This is an amazing experience for anyone and makes a wonderful gift.

Only one person is allowed in the cab with engineer at a time (unless the trainee is a minor, in which case an adult must be present).
