Nevada Northern Railway Instead of spending hours digging out and assembling that teensy tiny toy train set to watch unsatisfyingly chug around the Christmas tree, how about gifting a real train experience? Let’s just get serious for a minute…age doesn't matter when it comes to riding the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, one of the best preserved, continually operating locomotives in the nation, right? Right. If that’s not enough to wet your whistle, sign Timmy up to jump behind the throttle to Be The Engineer of this megaton beast for hours. And if you’re really wanting to kick it up a notch, immerse yourself in a night of adventure and kick it with the train master for a night in the original 1906 Bunkhouse! Give the most legendary gift with a Polar Express-themed jaunt, a once-in-a-lifetime engineering experience, or a night at the museum that will be hard to forget. Any time spent at the Nevada Northern Railway is a good time…make it happen this holiday season!
