- Our travels into Nevada led us to Ely so that we could visit the historic Nevada Northern Railway! This rail yard and railway is a hidden gem and one that was amazingly saved and preserved so that they could carry on this town's industrial heritage and share it with the rest of the world. They have done such an amazing job at restoring much of the trains, steam locomotives, buildings and equipment to keep this an operating railway providing train rides and tours for all visitors. We enjoyed our train ride being pulled by Engine No. 93 that led us on a 90 minute ride into the mountains and learning about the areas mining history. We really enjoyed our visit to the railway and got some great video to share of our private tour of the Engine House and RIP buildings, so check out those videos as well. #abomadventures #train #steamlocomotive #nevadanorthernrailway

Adam… this one hit a special place with me… I grew up in Ely and was a miners son during the heyday of the Ruth Mining operation. As a boy the train ran twice a day 7:00 am and 3:00 pm transporting copper ore from the Ruth pit to the McGill Smelter where my grandfather was a welder.
This community lived and breathed daily hard work. Hence to this day you get to know, see, smell and touch what has really made this out of the way quiet town service.
I moved away shortly after high school to attend college but still have Family and Childhood friends living in Ely. My Father was the trains Santa Clause for many many years. Until his passing about 9 years ago.
My family along with 10,000 of others lived and thrived because of this railroad.
Thanks for coming and enjoying this hidden gem
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing your story with us! We loved our visit to Ely.
Abby I am also a train lover and share your happy dance. Thank you both for the adventure filming you do. At 67 years I don't travel a lot anymore so seeing America through your lenses means a lot to us viewers more than you know. You have created one professional adventure channel. I started out watching Adam on his main channel, and then found out Adam can cook.... Who knew ?
That brought me here to the adventures. Next time you two come up to the great white north of Michigan we need to do some "" grillin & chillin'" Stay safe Happy Anniversary !!
Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary , Adam and Abbie!

These railroad signs are antique.
Love It congratulations
Happy Anniversary guys, I have ridden a similar tourist train in northern Arizona south of Sedona
First of all let me say congratulations to five years thanks for allowing us to share it with you and I used to do volunteer work at the Museum of transport in St Louis Missouri and work a lot and their machine shop a lot of the trains at the museum were of static display but we're maintained spent countless hours out there so hanging out with you guys today brought back lots of memories thanks for bringing us along I'm looking forward to more content🎉🎉
Epic scenery. To think of all those who came before, and saw the same.
love this train ride. love to see Abbey get so excited about places. so glad your having a great time. thanks for videos. helps people who can.t go anywhere.
Wow amazing footage! I have always been interested in seeing this train. Thanks for bringing us along.
Kewl!
As you probably have already found out, Kennecott Copper owned the railroad to haul copper ore to the smelter and then the copper north to the UP RR. Kennecott just gave the whole railroad (outside of the mine) to the group to save because it would cost them less than scrapping it. Kennecott just closed and locked the doors leaving everything including all of the complete records of the railroad from the beginning.
I am glad Abbey got a Dirt the Cat stuffed animal. He was as famous as the railroad.
I have one of those velocipedes, though not restored(yet). And a handcar.
We got the full description from Mike Hughes during our private tour. We’ll have more to share on the railway later.
Cabooses (cabeese?) are absolutely the best. You guys have such great taste!
Happy 5th Anniversary, I'm on my 38th.
Happy anniversary guys, another great video, thanks for sharing!
they have cool original covered wagons so forth, I was there and the old boys gimmie a tour when it was closed, real nice guys.. they were losing some of the rail way, this was 6-7 years ago and at the same time they were getting some other stuff in so they were excited, these railways built the west and much of the USA so
Happy Anniversary Abby and Adom! Great video!
5 years wow, just seems like yesterday: Congratulations!
Sweet. Always wanted to understand how the steam mixed with the fire box coal or wood and the various bleed vents, valves etc. Super interesting them Iron Horses are.
Nice long train ride. Can't wait for the machine shop one. This looks like one where you actually go somewhere. And then come back. Looks like I'd really enjoy. I'm adding it to my must do list. Thanks.
Happy anniversary! That was a nice train!
Great video, railroad history is so important. Check out Boone Valley Scenic Railroad next time you go thru Iowa, it is in Boone Iowa.
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Happy Anniversary 🎉❤, loved the train ride. Your adventures are really making me want to go right now😂
That vacuum in the background after getting the tickets was restored by Rick Dale on American Restoration
Boy that train ride was fun guys. Sure glad you guys are still pretty young and can handle all that smoke. That train ride sure looked like it was fun. So was that a coal train I wonder? . Pretty cool thanks for bringing us along guys.
Very cool place. I can’t believe you didn’t do “engineer for a day”. My wife gave me that as an anniversary gift 4 years ago. You get to operate the locomotive on the same route you rode. Unfortunately, with no train behind it, you never get more than 2 notches out on the throttle!
the machine shop and other buildings are Haunted!!!!
Will we get a dedicated shop tour video from here?
Guess I should have waited til the end and I would have known. Lol
Yea I’ll be making a shop tour video for Abom79 👍🏻
