$20 discount of hour price for walk in RAL using already running locomotive(s)
|
The "Run-A-Locomotive" program has four basic plans, all include private instruction from a qualified engineer.
Do you have a friend or family member that loves to remind you how large their vehicle is? At the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, you and your family can take the throttle YOURSELF in one of our vintage diesel locomotives! (with a qualified engineer/instructor of course!) Upon completing your engineer experience, you will receive a certificate, suitable for framing so YOU can brag to all of your large vehicle driving friends and family. When they boast about the size of their vehicle, brandish your "Engineer's Certificate" and show them the pictures. They'll either be envious, or will get really quiet, really quick. All persons intending to operate a locomotive under the age of 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult and have a signed release of liability.
- - NOTICE - -
NOTE: all RALs are dependent on availability of locomotive equipment and instructors.
Please check with our museum prior to your visit.
