To those who may be interested. The Friends of the Nevada State Railroad Museum in conjunction with the museum will host a hands on rail camp this summer on August 2-5. Participants(limited to ten to insure plenty of hands on time)will be trained to operate and fire V&T 4-6-0 25, operate the museum's McKeen motorcar and the 1926 vintage Edwards motorcar. This is the first time the museum has hosted a rail camp of this magnitude and the participants will rotate between the various equipment and the emphasis will be HANDS ON participation. The cost for this first ever camp is just less than a thousand bucks so for four days it's a pretty good deal. If you're interested you can call Adam Michalski, Curator of Education at the NSRM at 775-687-6953 x224 or on line at www.nsrm-friends.org.
A fun way to spend your tax refund and support a great railroad museum.
