While I was exploring US 50 through eastern Nevada, I decided to stop and take a scenic train ride on the historic Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada. There are a variety of different trains you can take, but this 90 minute steam locomotive took us west along US 50 and then south into the mountains. We went through a couple of tunnels and saw some abandoned mines along the way! Very cool and fun little trip!

AS A GUY WHO HAS WORKED WITH SEVERAL TOURIST HISTORICAL RAILROADS , GLAD TO SEE YOU DO THIS!!

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

I figured you might like this one 😊

This is beyond awesome. The thing about your videos is that the editing makes it feel like I am experiencing what you are experiencing. There is no filter between the person watching and the actual experience. Can't beat it.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you! It was a very cool experience. I’m sure some of their other rides are even better 😊

I have did a cab ride of Nevada Northern 81 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1917) back in April 2023, it’s another beautiful steam locomotive.

This is smashing, I love historic local steam railways and they are always worth patronising if only to keep them open. Thank you for the glimpse into a totally different world John, we have a local historic steam railway near us and I found visiting there fascinating, incidentally, they always tried to recruit me as a volunteer when they found out that I restored classic motorcycles and particularly when they discovered I had a lathe.... an American lathe actually (A South Bend, which came here during the war on Lease Lend) and that I could turn stuff like engine components for 20's and 30's motorbikes. Once again, thank you John.

Thanks! I bet you were in demand! Not everyone has that kind of expertise!

Oh how great this one was. This ride brought back some memories of my childhood, when my Mother and I would take a train from Kansas City Mo to Parsons Ks to visit family. I loved hearing the train whistle and the clicky clack of the train wheels. Thank you for the memories. Happy trails to you and God bless.

You sly rascal you! I was talking about the Virginia Railroad at Virginia City after your Virginia City video. And you were sitting on this one! And recently you have been jumping back and forth with the subject and area of each video keeping us off balanced. I am loving it! I am a motorhead that loves the sounds of all power producing motors. And steam power is no exception. A steam locomotive on a pull lets you know that work is being done. Another great video! Keep up the good work!

😂😂 I think I remember that comment. Had this one left in the holster haha. I do promise this is the last one from that trip 😜

@lifewithjosef 9 месяцев назад

Excellent decision to not narrate the train ride, the ambient sounds were 10/10. For as verbose as I am, I'll keep this in mind for my next visit to Ely. As always...

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! And thanks for the recommendation!!

@pamelaherriford1940 9 месяцев назад

That is so cool! They give a little bit of all the different experiences people would have had back then. I want to do this!!

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

For sure! Definitely a unique experience!

@rosiemcnaughton9933 9 месяцев назад

Love this! Thanks for taking us along. You got to let someone else drive, and you could just enjoy the trip. Beautiful depot and museum in Ely. Thanks for the information too.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

It was nice to be the passenger for once 😂

@billiegutierrez2506 9 месяцев назад

Wow how exciting when I was younger my mom and I rode a train from Salida, Colorado to Salt Lake City Utah I will never forget that. Look at the beautiful scenery glad you took the ride and had us along what fun. Take care

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Wow I bet that was an incredible ride! This was very short compared to that. What a way to see the west!

@tinman7130 9 месяцев назад

Well that one certainly left me steamed. There are couple of those stem trains operated here in Colorado. Nice you took the time to stop and smell the cinders so to speak. Good one John

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

😂😂 glad you were only steamed in a good way haha. Thanks!

@travis303 9 месяцев назад

Haunted train ride sounds like fun, especially this time of year!

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Yes it does! I’m sure they sell a lot of tickets for those!

@sueelliott3206 9 месяцев назад

That looks like it was so much fun! Thanks for sharing.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

It was definitely fun! Glad I stopped in!

@user-fi5eu3ye1d 9 месяцев назад

Been following them on Facebook for couple of years. It’s on my bucket list!

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

I thought it was definitely worth it!

@Whitewater11 9 месяцев назад

in my between years (high school and whatever came next) I was given the opportunity to spend a summer working a ranch in Ely, this was early 90's. Not doing it has been a regret my entire adulthood. Neat video, makes me want to take a roadtrip out there.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

It’s definitely a unique part of the country. Very desolate around there, but very beautiful!

@marysimon7601 9 месяцев назад

Such fun!! Remember the stream engines the summers my Dad was night stationmaster in Paola,Ks. At 4 years old the engines were very scary. This would have been in the early 1940’s.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

I can imagine the engine noise being scary for a little one!

@peterselten500 9 месяцев назад

Hi john thanks for taking us for a ride its great a place to see . Cheers mate🇦🇺

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much 😊

@jkingsley9385 9 месяцев назад

If you liked the Nevada Northern, then you would really like the Durango Silverton Narrow gauge ride in Durango, CO. It is an all day ride. We've ridden it three times. The Chama/Antonito ride in Chama NM is also good. Have fun.

@pamelacrowe4971 9 месяцев назад

Great video. Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

It was! Would like to go back and try some of their other routes!

@larryclark4791 9 месяцев назад

Wow! That is a great ride and looks like a great museum. It is expensive running those locomotives, I have a friend who works the one in abilene. I loved seeing the kid's excitement.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Those kids were very engaged the whole time. Cool to see that 😊

@poweredbychrist2879 3 месяца назад

I've been wanting to take that train ride for a few years. Hopefully this is the year.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

It’s fun! I’d like to go on one of the night train rides 😊

@MozarkAdventures 9 месяцев назад

@TravelwithaWiseguy that would be a fantastic sight with the light and steam, make for great video or photo on a full moon lit night.

@tallboy2234 9 месяцев назад

Great video! 😀👍 it makes me want to take a ride on this train line! 😉

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! I'd definitely recommend it!

@lindastepp9842 9 месяцев назад

Very nice, I like tunnels , great video, thanks for taking us along, you took a lot of folks with you for thirty-nine dollars, that is what I call stretching your dollars. 😎

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Nice!! And you all pay me back by watching (and RU-vid pays the bills 😊)

@bertholini2810 9 месяцев назад

Very nice change of pace (seriously). 2 to 3 times a year would be nice. The floating balloons would be nice as well. Really nice video. Be good, be safe !

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

Two “railway” videos on consecutive Thursdays 😂😂 I actually went to a hot air balloon festival a while back but bad weather caused them to be grounded 😞

@bertholini2810 9 месяцев назад

I was on one (balloon) once. It had to go back down and let me off (it was said, I was flipping out). I'll say no more. Fun to watch/hard to ride for me. I can laugh about it now, kind of.@@TravelwithaWiseguy

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

I rode one as a kid and was looking forward to doing it again 😊

@ronalddailey5208 9 месяцев назад

I took my first train ride from Port Huron, Michigan to Chicago. The scenery is much better on your ride

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

I haven’t done many train rides in my lifetime so I’m sure any of them would’ve been fun!

@bigjimslade6250 9 месяцев назад

Another great video! I have seen the museum/ shop on various videos but this is the first video that I’ve found that shows the excursion. I was curious on how the engine was handled on the return trip. Sometimes with various excursion railroads (especially if there is only one track), the engine pulls on the way out & pushes in the way back (like at Strasburg PA) but other trains do a Y or a run by where it disconnects from the front end & then reconnects on the back end so that it pulls the cars both on the way out & back. I’d would have enjoyed seeing how this railroad handled the turn. Keep up the good work.

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

They did a Y on the turnaround. I couldn’t get a very good angle to show that while on the train, and actually I didn’t realize what they were doing when they did it haha.

@bigjimslade6250 9 месяцев назад

@@TravelwithaWiseguy Thanks.

@travis303 9 месяцев назад

would have been great if there was a show where bandits came up on horses and tried to rob the train

@TravelwithaWiseguy 9 месяцев назад

I wonder if they do things like that? Would be cool!

@travis303 9 месяцев назад

Well, I mean it's cheaper to not do that because you don't have to pay actors, buy horses etc. but I wonder if the ridership would increase. "I wonder if they do things like that" I would think if they did, they would have done that on your ride. @@TravelwithaWiseguy
