Northern Nevada Railway Ely Nevada
From the NNRY website:
Historic passenger railroad featuring train rides pulled by century-old steam engines.Consisting of the original railway locomotives, rolling stock, track, passenger station, and buildings that served the historic copper mining region of Central Nevada for over a century. All of this is being preserved by a non-profit historic museum so you can come and enjoy a piece of American history.
Track for the Nevada Northern Railway was laid over a century ago, connecting one of the largest copper mines in North America to the Transcontinental routes to the North. Today, several of the original steam locomotives that were ordered and delivered new to the railroad over a century ago are still in operation. The Nevada Northern Railway is the best-preserved example of a standard-gauge short-line left in North America.

Everyone knows about the importance of the gold rush in California and the Comstock Lode in Nevada (Nevada's Silver Rush). What about Copper? Eastern Nevada had a Copper Rush of its own around Ely at the turn of the 20th century. That's why the Nevada Northern Railway was built!

The Worlds Most Famous Cat.- Dirt the Cat at the Nevada Northern Locomotive Shops
Dirt the Cat was born in the roundhouse of the Nevada Northern Railroad in Ely Nevada. Over the last ten years, he has become an online celebrity.
Dirt lives among the steam and diesel locomotives of this amazing railroad museum. He is absolutely filthy. He long ago learned to not attempt to clean himself by licking his fur. The dirt in the shop is a mix of soot and coal dust as well as rust and metal filings. And good old dirt. Nothing any animal would want to put in their mouth.
Fro Dirt's web page:
In 2008 Dirt was born here, in the main locomotive repair shop, under one of our historic steam locomotives. He was a shy little kitty who looked for nooks and crannies in the shop to hide in. The shop staff became attached to the little guy. Both the shop staff and the locomotive crews always liked to have him hang around the shop with them as they went about their tasks. With a can of Tuna here and there, and some attention every so often he fit right into the rest of the routine in the shop.
Nowadays, Dirt is almost always front-and-center to great our museum guests and tours. He also loves to greet the locomotives as they return to the shop after a day of work out on the line. He is unflustered by the routine noises in the shop as the machinery operates. The shop has been his home and all that he really knows. He just loves the attention of his fans and now has fans all over the world!
Dirt got his name because loves to roll in the Dirt in the back rooms of the engine house. He got his title, King of the Shop, because he carries out his role as official greeter and mascot in such a regal way. As you will see when you visit, he clearly sees himself as being the center of activity in the shop.
You can meet Dirt, here in Ely Nevada by visiting the Nevada Northern Railway. Dirt, King of the Shop, is almost always is holding court in the main locomotive overhaul shop of the Nevada Northern Railway. While you're at it, come take a train ride! A guided tour of the main yards and shop is included in the cost of the train ticket.

Visiting the Nevada Northern Railway 5-11-19 Part 1
After weeks of failed attempts to upload, at long last here is part one of the video from my visit to the Nevada Northern Railway in Ealy, Nevada in early May. This was a side trip that was a part of my trip to Ogden, Utah to see the inaugural run of Union Pacific Big Boy 4014. To start off, we'll take a tour of the machine shop and engine house in East Ely, and see some of the railroad's collection of vintage diesel and steam locomotives. you'll also see the locomotive servicing facilities out in the yard, along with a decent sized colloection of vintage freight cars, almost all of which are original to the railroad. We'll also take a ride onboard the regular excursion behind steam locomotive number 40 up Robinson Canyon to the old mining district at Keystone, just outside the town of Ruth. you'll also see steam locomotive 93 in action as she was fired up and running during our visit. Enjoy!
Through Robinson Canyon on the Nevada Northern Ry
This is Nevada Northern's regular excursion train that goes through Robinson Canyon and turns at Keyston to return to East Ely, NV. Here it is seen on August 3 and 4, 2018. The consist gets turned at keystone and therefore alternates between the caboose being on the rear or the head end.

Ride the 'Star Train' to see brilliant night sky you can't witness anywhere near Las Vegas
It's both a blessing and a curse -- as the city of lights, it's hard to compare with the beauty of Las Vegas at night.
But all that artificial glow makes stargazing nearly impossible.
So how about a road trip to Ely, Nevada, to climb aboard the Star Train?
Arriving at the Northern Nevada Railway, where the trip on the Star Train begins, you’ll notice the place has something of a mascot: a cat named “Dirt,” who never has a problem living up to his name.
