![]() In 2012, the Nevada Northern Railway was awarded “Attraction of the Year” by the Nevada Travel Network calling it a “must see must do” attraction. It is a national treasure the whole family can enjoy. It also features an extensive paper record, documenting more than 100 years of history. The 56-acre rail yard contains original track and over seventy original buildings and structures, including the original Depot, Machine Shop, Engine House and the iconic Coaling Tower. The Nevada Northern Railway, established in 1905, is an original, working historic railroad, complete with operating steam and diesel locomotive trains. According to a Smithsonian Curator Emeritus, it is “the best…bar none.” The Nevada Northern Railway is America’s best-preserved short line railroad and the most complete rail facility left in the nation. It is, indeed, a Nevada treasure but it’s not hidden, buried, or in need of a special map to find it. Nevada Northern Railway Museum is a National Historic Landmark, located in rural Ely, Nevada less than 200 miles from Elko, and halfway between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City (about 240 miles in either direction). ![]()
