NNRY Steam Train Excursion To Robinson Canyon

NNRY Steam Train Excursion To Robinson Canyon

Category:

Experience a journey through history with the Nevada Northern Railway, where the era of the steam locomotive comes to life. This historic railroad operates year-round, featuring authentic steam engines that continue to run, inviting you to immerse yourself in the past.

You can select between coach or open-air seating, or you may choose to move freely between both options. For those opting for the open-air car, it is recommended to wear a hat and apply sunscreen. Additionally, consider bringing a jacket for evening excursions. Situated at an elevation exceeding a mile, the weather here is typically mild, though it can occasionally be unpredictable.

Each journey lasts approximately 90 minutes. Our trains are equipped with on-board restrooms, wheelchair access, and offer snacks and beverages for sale.
