Frequently Asked Questions
When are you guys running?
The Live Steamers of the FNSR typically run the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month, starting at 10 AM. The Live Steamers do not run during the months of January, because of maintenance, and July & August, due to excessive heat. Heat may result in shutting down early in the day or cancelled completely during the early summer and fall months.
The Model Railroaders of the FNSR typically are open the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, February through December. We may be open on extra Saturdays or closed on certain Saturdays, depending on staffing.
