Whether your passion is volunteering, railroads, history or working with children, the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad has something to offer for persons interested in getting involved within the community.

Are you interested in helping out the railroad and carousel ensuring its continued success for generations to come? If so, volunteering at the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad may be for you.

Volunteers are the life-blood of this organization. They make up nearly three-quarters of our entire staff, and are responsible for a number of elements that keep both the train and carousel running.
