The Nevada Northern Railway crosses U. S. Hwy 93 just outside of Ely. As you can see in the 93 is a major highway. Hwy 93 runs from the Canadian border almost all the way to the Mexican border. It is a heavily traveled route and one of the few railroad grade crossings on the entire highway is ours. I’d love the interview some of the drivers and their passengers after they get stopped by the flashing lights and gates.

The Nevada Northern Railway is a National Historic Landmark. There are heritage railroads with original buildings, railroad cars and steam locomotives, but what sets the Nevada Northern Railway apart and places it into a class by itself is its documentation. This collection represents the entire history of a railroad: from planning, through construction, operations, transition from steam to diesel, eventual closure and reopening as a historic site. The preservation of these records was one of th

Steamer Saturday Surprise! I confess, I enjoy doing videos of our trains crossing US 93. This is a major highway that goes from Canada almost to Mexico. Along its route are very, very few railroad crossings. So there you driving along and all of a sudden, you see the flashing lights, hear bells and see the railroad crossing gates come down. Ok fine. Then you hear a whistle, it sounds funny, so you look up, wait, what, it is a steam locomotive rolling down the track pulling a freight train! You t

The Legend of the Ghost Train of Old Ely Beginning in 1906, the Nevada Northern Railway has provided passenger service to White Pine County. On July 31, 1941, the last regularly scheduled passenger train operated from Cobre to East Ely. At the time this appeared to be the end of carrying miners, emigrants, shoppers, school kids, church goers, partiers, business people and the U. S. Mail by trains. After the last run, the equipment was put back in the buildings, some was scrapped, but most was ke

This video captures a historic moment — her hooking up for her first train up the hill since returning to operation. There’s nothing quite like seeing her doing exactly what she was built to do. Built in 1917 for the Nevada Northern Railway, No. 81 has called Ely home her entire life. She was retired from service and donated to the community in 1960, spending 30 years on outdoor display. In 1990, she was retur
