Riding the Rails

We went back into Ely to check out the train museum of the Nevada Northern Railway. It turns out that they operate a steam tourist train so we just had to get tickets to ride. It was a 1.5 hour ride up through a large copper mining area.

Amtrak Stop?????????

After the ride we got a walking tour of the barn. It is a working museum where they are restoring to working condition several rare steam engines.
