Nevada - Nevada Northern Railway
Ely, NV - Savor the real west and journey back in time on the historic Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada. Often called the "best preserved" shortline in North America, the Nevada Northern was one of the last great mining railroads built in the early 20th century, carrying millions of tons of copper ore from Ely mines.
This is one of the last, and best-preserved standard-gauge short line railroads in America. It simply would not exist without the loyal support from hundreds of railfans like yourself. It takes resources, know-how, and hard work to keep the railroad in operation.
