Yesterday we found another train to ride. The Nevada Northern Railway is an historic site, but it is still a working rail yard. It is America’s best preserved short line and complete rail facility. The complex includes a full service rail yard, encompassing 56 acres, and 63 buildings. 
The museum collection consists of three steam engines, two of them working, and six diesel locomotives with three of them working. The museum is unique in that it not only preserves the artifacts of the railroad, but it is recording and teaching the lost skills necessary to preserve the history of this technology for future generations.
Here you can come and spend a week working as an engineer, and be part of the actual railroad, or just take a ride as we did. 
If you want more information, try their website. Tomorrow is off to the caverns in the Grand Basin NP.
Sounds like you guys are having so much fun. We can't wait to get back on the road again. It will be bittersweet though... we have sure enjoyed our time here with our little grandson.
ReplyDeleteBy the way... I see that man in the white hat in the last photo!!! Looks familiar. Hugs to you both.
