Engineer for an Hour
|
|
After preliminary safety instructions, you will be at the controls of one of our four diesel locomotives
The "Engineer for an Hour" program allows you to get operating instruction from one of our FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) licensed engineers.
An operation will be along our main line which has approximately 4 miles of track, running from our station at Boulder City to Railroad Pass,
just east of where I-93/95 is paved over our tracks. The crew will consist of yourself as the student engineer, an engineer, and a brakeman.
For only $250.00 you will have the opportunity to experience running a diesel-
electric locomotive along the historic tracks of the Boulder Branch Line, which were used during the construction of the Hoover Dam in the 1930's.
You will be accompanied and instructed by one of our certified locomotive engineers.
