Steptoe Valley Flyer Heritage Train

     For the fourth year, the Nevada Northern Railway is going to be firing up its time machine four times and you're invited to take a trip on the Steptoe Valley Flyer. From 1910 until 1941, steam locomotive 40, Railway Post Office/baggage car 20 and first class coach 5 traveled from East Ely to Cobre, Nevada. This will be your chance to experience what it was like to travel the high desert back in time close to a hundred years ago. Passengers for this train are encouraged to wear period dress anywhere from 1910 to 1941.

     The Steptoe Valley Flyer pulls out of East Ely only four times in 2007. The Flyer is scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays May 17, June 14, July 19, and August 23. Join us for a trip back through time when the public traveled by train as did the mail. Reservations are suggested; seating is limited. All passengers will receive a commemorative letter postmarked in the Railway Post Office during their trip. Prices are: Adults $42; Children (4-12) $25; Children under age 4 ride free. Call the museum toll free at 1-866-40STEAM (or 775-289-2085) or order online.

BBQ Trains

    Come hungry for a real western BBQ. The meat has been slow cooking all day over mountain mahogany coals in a BBQ designed as replica of locomotive 40 . The meal includes finger licking ribs, beans, baked potato, coleslaw, and a freshly baked roll. Beverages include your choice of ice tea, water, or soda. Beer or wine is extra. Adults $46; Children (4-12) $25; Children under age 4 ride free.

     7:00 pm on four selected Saturday evenings: May 31, June 28, July 5, Aug. 9 and Sept. 6. Call the museum toll free at 1-866-40STEAM (or 775-289-2085) or order online.

The Chocolate Express

     Marking its second year in 2008, the Chocolate Express departs from the East Ely station on four Saturday evenings: June 21, July 26, and August 30 at 7:00pm.

     Join us as we head up the hill to watch sunset and enjoy chocolate. Some people don't just "like" chocolate—they are absolutely, completely, enamored with and addicted to this food, like no other substance on earth. Quite simply, chocolate makes them feel good. They put a piece of it in their mouth, close their eyes, and slowly swoon into euphoria as the sweet, gooey stuff spreads warmly over their taste buds, caressing their tongue with sensual texture and deep, rich flavor. It is no accident that the Latin name for cocoa (Theobroma cacao), from which chocolates are made, translates as "food of the gods." Beverages include your choice of ice tea, water, or soda. Beer, wine, or champagne is extra.

"Research tells us that 14 out of any 10 individuals like chocolate."
—Sandra Boynton, Chocolate: The Consuming Passion

Adults $46; Children (4-12) $25; Children under age 4 ride free. Call the museum toll free at 1-866-40STEAM (or 775-289-2085) or order online.

July 4th BBQ & Fireworks Train

     Reservations are also required for the summer's most highly anticipated event, the 4th of July Fireworks Train! The evening begins at 5:00pm with an old-style barbecue with all the trimmings, in the NNRy plaza. Then it's onto the train at 7:00pm, where just after sunset, you'll have the best seat in White Pine County to watch the annual fireworks display! BBQ and Fireworks Train: Adults $42; Children (4-12) $25. Fireworks Train only: Adults $28; Children (4-12) $16. Children under age 4 ride free. Call the museum toll free at 1-866-40STEAM (or 775-289-2085) or order online.
