Scenic Railroad Crew - Trainman (Car Attendant)

The West Chester Railroad is a tourist railroad along the beautiful Chester Creek Valley in Pennsylvania. We are conveniently located 45 minutes outside Philadelphia. We offer a variety of nostalgic 90 minute train trips and special events throughout the year.

We are always seeking new crew members for our scenic train rides! Trainman (aka Car Attendant) is the entry level volunteer position for our train crew members. You'll ride on the train, checking tickets and talking to the passengers. Starting as Trainman, you can progress from Brakeman to Conductor and eventually to Engineer. The train crew also is responsible for keeping the coaches clean before and after the runs that day. Please be advised that becoming a Brakeman, Conductor or Engineer requires a large amount of time investment and training.

We are an all-volunteer, not for profit corporation which is totally dependent upon the volunteer spirit of its members to conduct operations of the West Chester Railroad. Operating rules and job training are provided for members.

Membership is available on an annual basis to those interested in the West Chester Railroad Heritage Association and its purpose. Membership benefits include free passage on trains on a space available basis and copies of all publications by the association.
