ERRS is busy getting ready for spring!

Car 33 & 930 undergoing restoration work

New Motorman training has begun Our trainers took new motormen at Fort Edmonton Park around the barn, through all of our cars, and under Edmonton 42 to see how the cars work. We have a massive group of over 20 new motorpersons joining us this season, which is very exciting! They’ll start training at Fort Edmonton Park in a couple weeks, with practical training in Edmonton 42 before certifying test runs in May.


Our restoration and maintenance volunteers are busy getting cars on both lines ready to go. At FEP, Car 1 is back on its trucks, Car 80 is ready to go, and Edmonton 42 is over the pit for final checks. At HLB, Osaka 247 is almost ready and Edmonton 33 is waiting to go over the pit. Melbourne 930 is coming out of some major work, including servicing to its air system, repairs to its signboxes, and replacing all of the old glass with modern tempered safety glass to meet current safety standards.


ERRS

 is a 100% volunteer-run organization, and we’re always happy to have new people get involved. We especially need outreach, museum, and ticket seller volunteers for our upcoming season.
