Nevada Northern Railway, Ely, Nevada (4/26/2025). These old engines were used to haul copper ore from the Ruth Mine on the west side of Ely to smelters in McGill, northeast of Ely. The trains, railway, & machine shop are fully operational & appear to the visitor as frozen in time from the early 20th century. I stop there every time I pass through town. Visitors can ride trains & be the engineer, but I prefer to roam around the yard & machine shop.

There seems to be an #interrail sale on at most of the usual sites.

And here's my regular reminder that if you are in the UK and have a Disabled Person's Railcard then you can get an equivalent Interrail pass for your companion for free from the official UK seller. myinterrail.co.uk
Buy your own pass, then contact them by email for instructions. They are very helpful.

Today's historic photo of the day: Taken by my grandfather, this photo sees a Rigibahn train on the Vitznau to Rigi standard gauge Riggenbach rack #railway at Vitznau, Switzerland in mid 1957.

Built in 1871, this standard gauge rack railway line claims to have been Europe's first mountain railway, and just its second rack railway. The line runs from a station adjacent to a wharf on Lake Lucerne at Vitznau, and climbs 1300m in the 7km run to Rigi.
