Currie was a very small town on the NNRY (Nevada Northern Railway). The depot and hotel were built in 1907.

Looking north from the Currie depot. Currie was a very small town on the NNRY (Nevada Northern Railway). The depot and hotel were built in 1907.

These pictures did not come out well, which might be due to the fact that there were dogs in neighboring yards that kept barking and thus I took these in a hurry.

One of the more interesting things about Ely is that they've put quite a bit of effort into maintaining the railroad that once was the lifeline of the surrounding mines (the Nevada Northern). And, they've kept the railroad in a way that is different from many other older railroads in the west -- they focus on keeping it running as it originally existed, rather than adding specially refurbished equipment designed to attract tourists. As the CEO of the railroad said, 'this was a working railroad with nothing fancy, and that is what it will remain.' More on the railroad is available from their website: nevadanorthernrailway.net/

Since I enjoy older trains and have friends that enjoy them, here's lots of pictures. This is the 'East Ely' station, which is the museum and headquarters for the railroad.

The engine and cars of the Nevada Northern were loaned to Utah in 2002 to transport visitors of the Winter Olympics. The Nevada Brothel Owner's Association was a contributor to the costs of loaning the trains to Utah.

Per my understanding, one of the excursion trips on the train is to McGill junction, which is south of McGill. Unfortunately, the railroad has not been able to get funding to restore the McGill train station.
