In keeping with the LS&M’s mission to share the early history of the railroad and the rich nature of the St. Louis River, the LS&M strives to provide an inclusive environment which respects the value of each individual, whether they are volunteers, passengers or the general public. LS&M leaders recognize and appreciate diverse perspectives for group decisions to achieve effective collaborative compromise.

 

Volunteer assignments will be made without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, public assistance status, disability and familial status. Given the safety and regulation driven nature of the railroad industry, equal access will be allowed to potential railroad volunteers to perform preferred tasks for which they are able to meet Federal Railroad Administration requirements.
