TOUR 37 RAILFAN TOUR OCTOBER 15-16, 2009

The Nevada Northern Railroad is the last Nevada Bonanza mining line left and perhaps the best preserved shortline in the old wild west! This railroad has been preserved in its original state, from the workshops, stations, yards, rolling stock and motive power in East Ely, Nevada. Our two day event will include the operation of No. 40, a 4-6-0 Baldwin and No. 93, a 2-8-0 Alco on both passenger and mixed train consists with photo run-bys each day.
DAY 1 THURSDAY OCTOBER 15: (CB-L) Mixed train pulled by No. 93 for a morning run up the Hiline to the site of the old KCC copper mill at McGill. In the afternoon we run up the Keystone Line to the copper mine. Plenty of photo run-bys will be operated in scenic locations on both lines. Upon arrival back in East Ely you will have time to explore the historic old workshops and running shed as No. 93 to put to bed and No. 40 is being fired up. Night photo session later in the evening.
DAY 2 FRIDAY OCTOBER 16: (CB-L) We again board our charter train at the historic East Ely depot with a passenger train consist pulled by No. 40 for a run north on the mainline and then up the hiline. Upon arrival back in East Ely we continue southbound out on the Keystone line with a return back to East Ely mid afternoon.
