Volunteer

From those who turn wrenches on our equipment to those who handle marketing and administration, all of us at ASR volunteer our time. Since Reading No. 2100 returned east in 2015, our volunteers have spent over 20,000 hours at work on the locomotive, over $1,000,000 worth of time that they have given freely. Among the many backgrounds represented in ASR’s volunteer base are railroaders, computer technicians, welders, airline pilots, salespeople, machinists, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, military veterans, firefighters, and more.

Good-standing ASR members aged 16 or older in good physical health are welcome to join our crew. Please contact us to inquire about volunteer opportunities for you.
