The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum Association in Campa, California, is seeking volunteers to serve as docents to interpret train rides on Satursdays and Sundays.

Campo is about 45 miles east of downtown San Diego. There are many activities during the summer months, including train rides using historic engines and passenger cars, a playground for the children while waiting, and more than eighty major pieces of railroad cars and equipment.

The most awesome train ride is the "Ticket to Tecate." Tecate is in Mexico and is where Tecate beer is brewed. You get a couple of hours to eat and taste, or just taste and taste if you want to.

Volunteers must be comfortable with strangers, outgoing, and trainable. A special uniform and museum membership are required.

An training program approved by the Federal Railroad Administration is used to safely train brakemen, conductors, fireman, and engineers. Many Museum volunteers have gone on to full-time employment with various railroads and Amtrak. If you've ever wanted to work on the train, this is your opportunity.

For more information, contact James Lundquist, 619-465-7776, or jimlundquist@gmail.com
