You and your party will ride in a real caboose for one of our 90 minute train excursions from Ely, NV up toward the Ruth mining district.
The cabooses we use are all original to the Nevada Northern Railway.
Long ago they were purchased new, and put into freight service on this railroad.
For years, Nevada Northern Railway freight conductors used the very caboose you will be riding in, on the very tracks you will be riding on, to manage the
freight train they were responsible for on their daily runs.
In addition to safe, on-time operation of the train, the freight conductors were responsible for
organizing the paperwork that accompanied each freight shipment.
The Nevada Northern would haul freight from Ely, up to the Transcontinental interchange points
over 100 miles to the North, and return with freight from the outside world,
most of it to support the huge mining operations in the surrounding area.
Note that the caboose does not have access to the rest of the train once the train leaves the station.
That means that you will have to use the restroom and buy your snacks before the train leaves the depot.
Also to sit in the very top of the caboose, the cupola, you will need to climb a 7-rung vertical ladder.
The caboose, being a preserved, historic work environment, is not handicap accessible.
Closing Through
April 30th
Due to the Corona virus we will be closed to the public through April 30th.
We will continue working in our shops, including returning
Locomotive 81 to service. Many of the restoration expenses will continue, so your memberships and donations are all the more important during these times.
We would like the opportunity to reschedule
your visit to the Railroad for later in the season. If you are
scheduled prior to April 30th then give us a call at (775) 289-2085
There is no word yet on the rest of the
season. Like you, we want to return to full service as soon as
possible.
