Have you ever seen the Real American West? Plan a week-long road trip around the Golden Spike Territory. We put together a complete itinerary, including Salt Lake, Promontory Point, Ely, NV, and even driving on a portion of the original transcontinental roadbed.
You can ride the Copper Spike Limited or one of the other excursion trains up Robinson Canyon toward the old Ruth Mining District and actually see the original copper spike.
The Nevada Northern Railway is famous for real railroad experience - Hands On History experiences, such as running the steam locomotive out on the mainline, or being part ofRailroad Reality Week, or even sleeping the bunkhouse or caboose in the center of the East Ely Yard.
