To maintain their first generation Alcos and 100+ year-old steam locomotives, the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada operates this engine house. In 2007 I toured this fantastical realm of railroad reverence.
Engine House
In 2007 three or four photo features of my visit to the Nevada Northern Railway (NNRY) went live on the original RailRoad Modeling. Its archive has not yet been restored on this iteration of KitMaker Network so I am recreating the features.
Unfortunately, I no longer have the notes identifying the various pieces of equipment and tools but you can still get a feel of what early 20th century railroad maintenance required.
