The Wind River Railroad operator crew gets together for operating sessions on the 3rd Friday night each month. We will usually keep running trains from 7pm until 9:30pm depending on operator availability. Operating sessions are conducted by using a computer program callled RailOp. See the link below for more details on how we operate using a dispatcher and RailOp's switchlists.
