Description

The Nevada State Railroad Museum at Boulder City is a part of the Nevada Department of Cultural Affairs. There are currently no indoor interpretive, exhibit or display facilities at this location.

Here at the Museum, the maintenance facility was built in 1996 and the passenger platform was built in 2000. Equipment has been acquired by the State both through purchase and donation. The refurbishment of the locomotives and cars has been funded primarily by the State, with some private donations, and lots of volunteer labor.
 

OPERATIONAL LOCOMOTIVES

There are four operational diesel locomotives at the Nevada Southern Railway.
 

DISPLAY ONLY LOCOMOTIVES

There are three locomotives in the Museum collection that will be used for display only. The steam locomotives were not operational when acquired. Due to the great expense of restoring and certifying them, the plan is to cosmetically refurbish the steam locomotives and have them on static display.
 

TRIP INFORMATION

Our train usually consists of three air-conditioned/heated cars (two coaches and a wheelchair accessible car), an open-air car, and a generator car (to supply power for lights, air-conditioning and heating). The runs depart from the station at Yucca Street and proceeds west approximately 3.0 miles to just behind the Railroad Pass Casino. We use the right of way and track developed by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1931 to supply materials to Boulder City for use in the construction of Hoover Dam. The round trip takes about 45 minutes.
