Nevada Northern Railway

 My brother and I took a quick trip to Ely Nevada to visit the Nevada Northern Railway.

A long drive there but well worth the trip.

Three of the Iconic structures are the Coaling Tower, the Water Tower and Water Spout.

Unfortunately only the Water Spout in the foreground actually is in working order.

We were lucky, of the three steam locomotives only #93 was working. 

The others were in the shop being worked on.

 A week or so after we left #93 went down as well. Minor problems but we lucked out

Hey, I like doors and I can't resist an old red one, on an old red building

The sun was quite bright and allowed me to just catch the top rims of 

these wheels

They're very accommodating at the shop and allow you to walk around.

This Steam Wrecking Crane works and they use it when necessary.

 

Just some of the many containers used in the shop.

More shop stuff, I just liked the way the light hit this table

This is one of the smaller lathes. They have one they can turn RR car wheels on. Note the

belts and gears, this is old school. No motor of it's own. The belts are connected to a larger

shaft. The speed of the lathe is determined by the gears and which belt is engaged.

Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph.
