More Nevada Northern Railway Pictures

This building is the engine house and the main repair facility.

This is an old fashioned air brake controller located next to the engineer. Their other diesel has more automated braking controls.

This is a diesel electric locomotive. These are the control switches.

Returning to the station

We have reached the end of our outbound trip. Kirk, the assistant is decoupling the locomotive from the train so that it can run around to the other end of the train and take us home.

We have to get past this turnout so that we can get onto the siding and run around the train to attach the locomotive to the other end of the train.

We've come far enough on the siding to get back on the main track. We're then headed back to the train (which you can barely make out in the distance)..

Heading toward the train cars.

We attadch the engine to the caboose to return to the depot.

Tour of the engine house and repair facility

This is engine 40, currently under restoration.

Engines 81 and 93 are original NNRY engines still in use today (mostly on weekends).

This is an original steam driven wrecking crane.

This is a steam driven rotary snow plow.

A very large lathe. Note the hook in the foreground. It is coming from an overhead crane.

Here's the crane.

This was an originally steam driven hammer in the blacksmith shop.

The wheels and gears on the wall are wooden patterns used to cast their metal counterparts..
