Nevada Southern Railroad Museum

The Nevada Southern Railroad Museum houses restored locomotives, vintage train cars, and railway equipment spanning the early 20th century. The collection represents different types of trains and their mechanical systems from that era.

The museum preserves equipment from the Boulder Branch Line, a railroad built in the 1930s by the Union Pacific Railroad. This line was created to move materials and workers needed for the construction of Boulder Dam.

The railroad shaped how people and goods moved through Nevada, and the collection shows why these connections mattered to the region. Visitors see how trains influenced the daily lives and economic growth of communities.

The museum offers train rides in open-air or air-conditioned cars where visitors can board and experience the journey. Dress appropriately for the weather and choose your seating based on whether you prefer outdoor or indoor comfort.

The collection includes a fully restored Railway Post Office car, a specialized vehicle designed to sort and deliver mail while traveling on train routes. This vehicle represents an overlooked chapter of American transportation where postal services moved across the country by rail.
