There is no real skill needed except learning the use of the air brake which is different to any other system. The operators have enjoyed the interest of the riders, particularly the young, and the older riders who remember the trolleys and add their own stories. If you have an interest, contact Art Martin at 783-1237. Usually a few rides with one or more of the operators will give a good picture of what is needed. The operators can give you good instruction by allowing you to operate with his help.
Most museums have female operators.
We have yet to have one that would stay until they were competent enough to operate alone.
