Trolley Car No.10 is back ... On track!


The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum invites you to join our team of volunteers in keeping over one hundred years of magic alive and moving forward. We welcome people of all ages and skills, we will provide training and guidance as needed. Youths under 18 are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or other adult unless other arrangements are made. The following are just a few of the opportunities for which we have immediate openings:

MOTORMAN, CONDUCTOR or PUMP CAR OPERATOR
MOTORMAN, CONDUCTOR or PUMP CAR OPERATOR
If you ever had an interest in the "hands-on" operations of trolleys and railroads, here is the golden opportunity to operate our beautifully restored Car No. 10 on weekends and holidays. SFTM offers full training and accreditation programs for individuals interested in becoming a motorman, conductor or pump car operator (all genders welcome). You must be at least 15 years old to be a motorman (all genders welcome), or conductor, and at least 12 years old to be a pump car operator. Go to the Training Page for more information on the training and testing required to operate our equipment.

RESTORATION/SHOP WORK
RESTORATION/SHOP WORK
As a member of our shop crew, you'll work with a project leader to restore and maintain our historic collection of trolley cars, as well as our antique coach, freight cars and caboose. We also have an extensive museum campus of historical buildings in various stages of restoration, plus plans to extend our Car Barn.

TRACK CREW
TRACK CREW
With a lot of enthusiasm and a little training, you can help maintain our tracks and learn both old and new methods of track reconstruction. We have both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance programs all year long. Past projects have included moving entire railroad tracks to more simple tasks such as inserting replacement ties and rail. One person can't do it all!

GIFT SHOP PERSONNEL and TICKET AGENT
Greet our visitors and help in our Gift Shop with sales and general information on operating days. You'll always meet somebody new!

YARD WORK

Someone needs to keep ahead of all this grass! Even if you can only come one afternoon for a few hours of string trimming, our guests will appreciate anything you can do.
