Once-In-A-Lifetime Track Fee
$200 one-time fee
Current members upgrading to Regular status pay a one-time Track Fee. This fee helps cover the ongoing maintenance, repair, and improvement of our approximately 5,000 feet of dual-gauge track, turntable, steam-up bays, and other tracksite infrastructure.
Once paid, you never pay it again — hence, once-in-a-lifetime.
