BJWRR Locomotive Engineers Needed!

Locomotive engineers are the lifeblood of this organization, as we cannot run without them! The Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad is looking to add a few locomotive engineers to our roster. Are you our next engineer? This is what you can expect if you become a BJWRR Locomotive Engineer:

​

Up to 2 shifts a month.  Scheduling will be based on volunteer preference, but we do require a minimum of once per month to remain active. Shifts can be either a full day or half day.

​

Throughout the year we operate the steam engines as often as a qualified steam engineer is available, and if not then we operate the diesel engines. The morning startup shift for steam operation starts 4 hours before the first train is scheduled to run. Startup shift for diesel engines starts a half hour before the first scheduled run.

​

In the Winter Season (November- February):  A full day shift: 11:00 to 3:00pm. May be broken up into two half-shifts. Weekends only.

​

Spring/Summer/Fall Seasons (End of March to October):  A Full day shift: 10:30am to 4:30pm. Seven days/week in the summer.
