Anyone who is a volunteer for a railroad, or who would like to volunteer in a railroad-related area can use this topic to discuss their activities, or ideas for volunteer locations.
Now, a little info on volunteering (heh) :D :
Volunteering can be rewarding in many aspects, such as gaining experience in the "real world," by learning how to deal with people and machines. If you're aspiring to become a compensated employee of a railroad, your volunteering experience can help you get the job. Volunteering is not only beneficial to those wanting railroad-related careers either....Colleges LOVE students who apply themselves outside of school (IE: VOLUNTEER WORK!) Therefore, the work you do for fun now, may very well help you get into the college, or job that you want in the future.
