Volunteering at a Museum

Unread postby ArcticCatZRT » Thu Sep 15, 2011 8:39 pm

Hi everyone,

This semester at college I have fridays off as a result of scheduling, and since I go home on weekends to see family, girlfriend, work, and of course wash, I don't have really any free days. But now that I do for the semester I am volunteering at The Railroad Museum Of PA, in of course, Strasburg PA. I am going to be opening up various pieces of rolling stock for the public to walk through, such as the GP9, GP30, and even a E44( !*drool*! ). I am really excited to start doing this especially since I love railroading and my major in college is History.

I am also thinking about contacting RSC and letting them know that I could most likely get some good reference pics of different Museums pieces, such as various PA steam, and other PA locomotives/rolling stock, such as the GG1 and E44.

F.Y.I. I will be their Fridays from opening to about 1 p.m. from now till about early-mid December, with a few day off here and there for various reasons!

Can you slip 7002 out the back door and sneak her into the Strasburg shops? No one will notice, be a pal! !*brav*!

It seems that RSAdam was just there: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3300&start=15

Now the one thing you *could* do is see if you can find out what types of things Adam seemed to be the most interested in. *!twisted!*

Nah if anything I would sneak the Berkshire back to the shops *!twisted!* supposedly the thing still "rolls" very well........now if the thing could only be restored to working condition.......that thing would be one hell of a locomotive for the rides they do everyday, but it would cost a small fortune to keep her running (e.i. fuel and maintenance)

But yeah I was talking to the women that actually took him around the museum, but I didn't ask her what exactly he was in. I would imagine he was in almost everything, or at least a lot of pieces.
