Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Museum activities include
restoration and operation of historic railroad equipment,
steam-powered excursions throughout the year,
winter photo shoots,
locomotive rentals,
hand car races,
lectures,
an annual railroad history symposium,
changing exhibits,
a resident reality camp,
and a variety of special events.
 

Collection

The museum collection includes three steam locomotives,
an electric locomotive,
and several diesel-electric locomotives,
as well as a collection of maintenance equipment
and numerous historic freight and passenger rail cars.
Usually two of the steam locomotives are in operation in regularly scheduled events throughout the year.

The museum also maintains an extensive fleet of its original rolling stock, including passenger cars, wood-side box cars, ore cars, and work trains, all dating from the 1910s. It has the oldest operating tank car and the oldest operating coal-fired steam crane on any American railroad
 

Heritage railroad

The museum operates a short rail line that was formerly owned by the Nevada Northern Railway as a heritage railroad. This line was called the "Ore Line" and the museum runs excursion trains westward from Ely to Ruth, and northeast from Ely to the vicinity of McGill. One of the trains is advertised as the Ghost Train of Old Ely.
