Operating Crew  It takes many volunteer members both on the train and at the station to run the Prairie Dog Central Railway every operating day.

The operating crew are trained and licensed under the C.R.O.R. (Canadian Rail Operating Rules) and First Aid.  Our Engine Crew on Steam Locomotive #3 or Classic Diesel 4138 consists of the Locomotive Engineer who is responsible for the overall operation and safe movement of the locomotive and the train, and the Fireman who is responsible for maintaining the working boiler steam pressure of the locomotive as well as working closely with the Engineer in the safe operation of the train.

The Train Crew consists of the Conductor who is responsible for the overall safe conduct of the train in accordance with the operating rules and the Brakeman who is responsible for general safety as well as assisting with all switching movements.  Rounding out the On-Train crew are the Porters who are responsible for the safety, comfort and supervision of passengers. 

Our Off-Train Staff includes the Ticket Office Staff who are responsible for general affairs at the Station including selling tickets, the Souvenir Sales staff who are responsible for sales of souvenirs and gifts.
