VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO ASSIST WITH WORK ON STEAM LOCOMOTIVES!

We are now accepting applications for volunteers to help with a variety of park activities during the coming year.

Golden Spike is currently seeking Engine House assistants and fire tenders. Winter volunteers will work with the park's engineers and assist with the mechanics, repairs, and the routine tasks of getting the locomotive ready for the summer months. Volunteers who work at the park in the summer will assist the engineers as fire tenders. Fire tenders are responsible for starting the locomotives in the morning and getting the steam locomotives ready for the day's operations. These volunteers will learn skills that enable them to work on the moving locomotives as a fireman. This is a great opportunity for individuals to learn a specialized skill from the park's staff.

Golden Spike currently has two R.V. pads with electricity, water and sewer connections. These camping sites are available to volunteers with their own campers at no cost, although arrangements must be made in advance. Transportation or reimbursement for travel costs may be available.
