Nevada Northern East Ely yard and shops, and Misc.

Ely, NV is not an easy place to get to. The upside is that the Nevada Northern Railway, its steam locomotives and supporting shops were preserved from the scrapper due to its remote location. The downside is that it is hard to bring in much-needed tourist dollars to such a remote place.

Once Sandy and I had checked in and passed our safety exam, we essentially had free run of the property. One could spend days here, just photographing different scenes and relics. Everywhere you turn, there is some bit or piece of railroad history, often still in use.
