The Western Pacific Railroad referred to the Men & Women that they employed as "Willing People". It was these folks that made the Western
Pacific a legendary figure in Railroad History. The railroad wasn't a job for WP's employees, it was a proud lifestyle. And the Western Pacific wasn't just a company... it was a
FAMILY.
The spirit of the "Willing People" lives on at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum everyday. Our members carry on that Mission the
minute they walk in the gate. Regardless of task, regardless of profession, gender, age, or level of railroad knowledge, our members happily volunteer their time and skills to continue that
tradition started 100 years ago on the Western Pacific. And we'd love to welcome YOU into our family!

Membership in the Feather River Rail Society is a rewarding experience. Your contribution will help to keep the museum and the history of the Western Pacific Railroad
alive. Become a member now so you will not miss any future issues of the upcoming publications.
Currently the society produces two publications which, depending on membership level, are included with your dues: The Train Sheet and The Headlight.
The Train Sheet is the society members' newsletter and
provides current information concerning the Western Pacific Railroad Museum. The Western Pacific Headlight is the society's journal of WP history and includes articles
of interest for modelers and those wishing to know more of the historical aspects of the Western Pacific and subsidiary roads.
Members and their guests are encouraged to visit the museum and feel free to join in the activities (Associate and Institutional levels are not eligible to volunteer). Caboose
trains operate every weekend during the summer operating season and at least once a month there is a work weekend.
