Ben's comment about not wanting to step on toes reminded me that we should have a list of who to seek out before taking a on project - no matter how small.
There are infinite needs that we have, and not one person knows everything that is occurring. That said, we do have a well-defined leadership structure that generally knows what is going on within that tier. If you see something that needs attention, and are willing to tackle that item, PLEASE speak up! Go to the appropriate superintendent (or similar lead) to get guidance as to what exactly needs to be done. With a physical plant as large as ours, there are often competing and overlapping needs, plus nuances that affect other projects.
That said, here's who you should see if there is a particular need you would like to address:
Jason Lamontagne, Railroad Superintendent - All railroad operation matters. Railroad equipment repair or restoration. Jason also has various department heads:
- Eric Shade, Master Carpenter - All rail-related woodworking and painting projects.
- Steve Lennox - Roadmaster - Track construction and repair.
- Alan Downey, Shop Foreman - Anything to do with the machine shop.
- Ed Lecuyer, Trainmaster - Train operations, crew scheduling, planning, ticketing, event coordination, customer service.
Brendan Barry, Superintendent of Buildings
All items related to the construction and maintenance of all buildings, including paint.
Mike Fox, Superintendent of Grounds (and Off-Rail vehicles)
Upkeep of grounds and the machines that are used to do so.
Steve Piwowarski, Marketing Director and Visitor Interaction Coordinator
Oversees our outreach efforts and ensures our visitors have a pleasant experience. Also manages all social media platforms.
Dave Buczkowski, President
Not sure? Ask Dave. He can at least point you in the right direction.
Most of these folks are present every Saturday. Please seek someone out before starting a task, then let's work together to Rebuild Maine History.
