Winterfest Work Meet 2026
January 12th - January 25th
The 2026 Winterfest Operations Meet is a Dedicated Work Meet. There will be no open running from before sunrise until after lunch. All attendees will be expected to pitch-in and assist. There will be multiple MOW trains and work opportunities.
The plan is to get as many lines open as possible during this meet. Two lines were opened during the 2025 Autumn Meet but there is still much work to do.
Lunch will be provided for all attendees who work.
All attendees must watch the MLS orientation/safety video prior before attending the meet, unloading trains, or operating on MLS track.
