Nevada Southern Railroad Museum, Railroad museum in Boulder City, United States.
The Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City is a collection of operational locomotives and train cars built between the 1930s and 1950s. The exhibit shows different types of trains and their original equipment and details.
The railroad came to this area in the 1930s to support construction of the Boulder Dam, transporting workers and materials. After that major project ended, some trains were preserved and became the foundation of what the museum displays today.
The locomotive collection here shows how trains shaped Nevada and moved people and goods across the region. Visitors can sit in the cars and understand how important this transportation was for the area's growth.
The museum is located near the Boulder Dam and easy to reach with plenty of parking on site. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since there is a lot of walking on the grounds and the sun can be strong.
On select weekends, actual steam locomotives still run on the original tracks, giving visitors a real taste of what historical train travel was like. These rides show how loud, hot, and exciting the railroad experience once was.
