Great train display, very friendly and knowledgeable volunteer staff and very interesting displays in all the shops buildings. Cutest cat named Dirt lives in the machine shop.

If you have never ridden on a steam locomotive this is a must do. Short ride on the bypass around Ely up to a local mine by steam locomotive. No diesel electric pushers. Inside and outside seats available. Good narrative by the crew with stories...More
Took my 83 dad to Ely, Nevada so he could "drive" a steam and diesel train engine. The smile is still on my dad's face and he had fun driving both engines. Each experience lasted ~2 hours and this is an actual "hands on event"...More

Marc, thanks for your visit. At a mile high in elevation, it does get cold up here. We are glad that you persevered, and will pass on your greetings to Dirt the Cat.
Rever unique museum. You can even drive a steam locomotive if you plan ahead and are willing to Pay the price. I liked the fact that you could wander around through the shops where they were rebuilding a locomotive. Highly recommended.

We are so glad that you came and enjoyed your visit here. Thanks!
arriving in town on a day the train was not running, we went through the museum and came back the next morning to ride the train. We thought the museum was the little building right (facing the tracks) of the visitor's center (actually it is...More
We really enjoyed this museum and especially the steam engine train ride! It was an unforgettable experience! It is also priced really reasonably. Don’t miss it!
Thank you so much for coming over and visiting the railroad. We are glad that you enjoyed the experience. This is one of those best kept secrets, so hopefully you will be able to send over your friends.
The whole experience took around three hours between the awesome ride and the machine shop tour. The staff and volunteers are helpful and very knowledgeable. Their excitement and commitment is contagious. Remember it is a steam engine so embers fly when you are in the...More
We are glad that you enjoyed it, and that you lingered after the train trip to go on the shop tour and meet "Dirt", the cat. He really is in charge around here, and plays the part very well.
