I drove 70 miles to visit the museum today only to be greeted by a sign that said MUSEUM CLOSED today.

Rail museum with alot of rolling stock! All sorts of steam engines , passenger cars and freight cars... Displayed in a replica of an old roundhouse ( a bit cramped ...) Several sheds outside hold more treasures ! And the best part!! It costs 4 bucks!! You can't buy a cup of coffee for 4 bucks! more

The museum contains many static displays depicting the rich railroading history of Nevada. It is especially spectacular on weekends during which the steam trains are running. Rides are reasonably priced and the volunteers are friendly and informative. Even without the trains running, the museum offers plenty of rolling stock to explore and activites for the kids. more
