Railroad Reality Camp

—Workin' on the railroad—

 

Requirements

 

Any person over 18 who has the physical capability to get into a locomotive by themselves, has a valid drivers license, and a sense of adventure can join the program. The Nevada Northern Railway is an operating railroad with all the dirt and grime as well as the clean crew for the trains. We ask that you bring with you clothes that can get dirty, work boots, and clothes that will be clean for the crews on the train. We will also be going to a hot spring so bring swim gear. You will also need at least one long sleeve cotton shirt to be in the cab of a locomotive. Bring sunscreen as we will be out in the sun.

Equipment provided
The Nevada Northern will provide hard hats, safety glasses, and gloves. You will also receive the Nevada Northern Handbook of rules and a binder with information on the surrounding area as well as history of the railroad, mining, and track repair information.

Altitude
Ely, Nevada is at 6500 feet from sea level. It is also a dry climate. Be prepared for these conditions. We provide water at all locations.
