I'm gonna start calling him Dr Russ.......with all the s*** going on in the world, I watch RVerTV and my blood pressure drops 20 points! 😀
We were just there last month and took the train ride which included a guided tour of the mechanic shop. The guide told us the diesel engine at 10:50 was purchased on ebay. And the Dirt and DJ sign at the beginning is in honor of 2 cats that live in the mechanic shop. Dirt is like 15 or more years old and DJ (Dirt Jr) is quite a bit younger. Dirt came out and greeted the tour.
God Bless , United States America , Russ, RVerTV Fans. We Love RVerTV - Grand Journey Thru - U.S.A. - Grand Videos - Grand Music. Canada Geese / Prepping for their American Journey south/ trees turning yellow ; red. Frosty/ cold this morning. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans. Thank you Russ.
Hey,Hey,It's Our Friend RVerTV Russ🤗 ,Let's keep chugging along to The Train Museum. To Cool for SCHOOL. Thanks Russ enjoyed the time together today. 👍
We lived in Ely in the late 50's. In a house just west of the museum. I was just 6 years old. Us kids would take pennys and lay them on the tracks and the trains would flatten them out nice. I wish I still had some of them.
Always have time to watch you! 👋🏻👋🏻😬
Many thanks for these museum tours, Russ. Ely is a wonderful oasis in the NV desert. Such a shame that Dirt the cat was MIA for your visit, but you can see his lil' buddy DJ hiding under the wooden bench at 7:52.
Wow, you have got some sharp eyes!
YAY!!! It's Russ!
Outstanding work, Russ. Thanks
that machine shop was to cool great tour of yesterday's trains
Every artifact a story of the building of America !
Reminds me of Cass Scenic Railroad in Cass West Virginia.
I am going to the Nevada Northern Railway Museum. They have three historic steam locomotives. Nevada Northern 93, a 2-8-0 “Consolidation” built by American Locomotive Company in 1909. Nevada Northern 40, a 4-6-0 “Ten-Wheeler” built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1910. And Nevada Northern 81, a 2-8-0 “Consolidation” built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1917. I’m planning on visiting sometime in April 2023.
Great museum; nice video; 😎😎😎👌👌👍🤩🥃
Wow. 😊 What a tidy, well-kept museum. Love the audio, train engine sound effect too. Wow. The history, indeed!
MEOW MEOW GOOD MORNING America
Wow! The two museums are packed with history. Love trains and train stations. Thank you so much for filming Ely, NV.
So glad I got to see this. I was born in Vegas, 73 years ago. Thanks for sharing. This is very cool!
Hi Russ, look forward to your entrance to my living room everyday. Connect my phone to tv and make sure to give you a thumbs up.
Thst is what I call a workshop. Feels and looks like the real deal
Trains have always fascinated me. The advancement in technology and the industry. The train was definitely and still is superior in many ways. The amount of weight that it can pull. It's just astonishing to see such a powerful innovation that was used for cargo and transportation at that time. It really set the pace for the industry. I remember last year seeing a train haul incredibly heavy military vehicles on so many flat bed carts.
As a Vietnam veteran your words have never been truer. Veterans are soon forgotten and when people once a year say " thank you for your service, ring hollow".
The train rides are well worth it. $26.00 as I recall. Almost 2hr duration.
26:50 If you've ever been to Baker NV (home of Great Basin National Park), that schoolhouse is just about the right size, even today.
Great videos as always.
🙋Hello Russ! Fascinating how much history has been preserved by these little towns. Ely is a nice quiet place it seems. Enjoyed the aerial view of Ely. They even had a few old dolls little girls played with back then. I really enjoy seeing the trains & museum. Turned out to be a really nice day. In hopes you have a nice weekend.👍
Am certainly enjoying the road trip! Thanks for taking us along. BTW. I just returned from Ely, MN. Almost at the Canadian border.
Wow! What a great tour, Russ! I've been going through Ely a lot on my way to visit my daughter in Boise, but I never visited the museum downtown. I've been to the railroad museum a few times, and rode the steam train over to Ruth and back. I bought a senior pass to all the state parks for $30 last year, and camped at a half dozen of them. I took my grandson to the Lehman Cave when he was just a kid. They always turn the lights out in the cave for a few minutes on the tour to show the guests how dark it is in the cave. But, that didn't work this time. My grandson had bought a tee shirt at one of the gift shops we had visited. It was black with a white human skeleton on the front. We didn't know the skeleton was phosphorescent, so it was a big surprise to all the tour guests when they turned out the lights out. They only thing you could see was this blazing skeleton lighting up the cave. Everyone was laughing their head off, but Dane was the most surprised of all!
That's a worthy place!!
I bin tagging over 2.5 yrs. This is one for the books tks for great trip. Tks for all you do.😅😅😅😅
Will be passing through Ely late October. Have to check this out. My dad loved trains. He left us a few years ago. He lived in Carson City.
Hey Russ!!!"VERY VERY" "NICE" "LAYOUT"!!! Have "FUN"!!! Be Safe!!!
Wow!! That's a very cool town. Loved seeing the trains, and shop. Can't believe the public can enter it. Lots of old history in the museum, and school. I see the sheriff was killed attempting to stop a dispute between a prostitute and her manager. He was only 37. Very nice stop for sure. 🙂👍
That's a really cool train
I enjoyed going to Ely with you. Thanks so much!
Ely should be on everbody's list to visit, if they find themselves in the area! Or, even if they're not! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for Sharing Russ! Watching from Houston, TX.
The Ely train depot was used as the Siver City New Mexico train station in the film Rat Race.
On RUclips, you can check the site called "VIRTUAL RAILFAN" to see live pictures of about 20 train stations in the U.S.A. (Barstow, San Juan Capistrano, Flagstaff, Tucson, etc). It's fun to watch a little every day to see BNSF or Union Pacific trains go by as well as seasonal changes in each State. I love your "museum" videos, ABC News doesn't do better than you, Russ. One of my uncles was an engineer on one of those coal-fired steam locomotives for the Canadian Pacific here in Quebec. Cheers ! RICHARD
Thanks Russ 👍
Ely, NV is very interesting place! Thanks for the vlog Russ!🤓🤓
Excellent! I cannot believe they let the public wander around the RR maintenance building. 🤭
I love this museum, it was turned over to the city and county
Really tour of the train museum.
Very nice Russ. Thanks for the Nevada tour thus far.
The older you get the more a person appreciates old things . So the museums are so much fun.
Going next week for a whole week of exploration & riding! Hooray!
Great tour of the railroad grounds. All that was missing was Dirt the Cat.
Shoutout for Dirt!
I miss the old music 🎶 you used to use. Great video love it👍
Thank you. I will go visit Ely
Adding in to last comment. In North Conway they had an excellent ski museum. When traveling look for the museums and stop! Keep rolling.
There are several shops you can visit, operating active locomotives.
Scranton has Steam Town, Spencer Shops in Spencer NC, the ACL museum in Duluth Ga.,....thanks for the great ELY RR museum tour! ✌️😎
Also the Tennessee RR museum in Chattanooga and the Strasbourg RR in Pennsylvania....
Russ very neat Railroad museum, Me being a Railroader and fan of old iron, the steam engines and old Alco engine's, very neat video and thank you and safe travels.
Not just old Alcos, they have an old Baldwin VO-1000.
Thanks Russ for taking us with you to those great museums. ........Russell D.
Great tour of the rail museum, Russ. The only thing that would make that museum better would be if they had a roundhouse. But as it is, the place is a great testament to the people who work there (mostly volunteers, I would guess). I always make a point of thanking the staff of small-town museums like that. Without their dedication I'd never have a chance to learn about and experience the history of places like Ely.
PS: at 21:53 or so there's an Argus C-3 camera on the top shelf. My dad had one. I took it apart one day to see how it worked...and couldn't figure out how to put it back together. Lucky for me dad had already moved on to a better camera!
That was excellent!
Super video Russ. Love the train content.
Anything to do with trains is fascinating!! They are actually bringing a few steam engines back online ! Another great Video Russ !! Thanks for sharing.
Took my kids there and to Great Basin Natl Pk in the early 90’s. It was October but the road up to the Bristlecones was snowed in. We did the Lehman Caves tour. My adult kids still talk about it today.
Love the big engines house really fascinating see care that goes into maintenance!
Bucket list gets longer😵💫, thanks MrRuss👍🏻
Nice collection of old train's thanks for showing us around. Safe Travels
What a Great Museum! Thanks for the recommendation!!!
Normally we see old buildings, old trains etc. and say"can you imagine back when this shop was in use, or when they would fireup that old train for a day of service", and yet there in Ely it really IS history come to life everyday. What a fantastic place. Thanks for another great video.
Enjoy your tour, been there a few times always great. Thanks.
Thanks, interesting video.
There's a roundhouse that has a housing for locomotives to be worked upon ... in Scranton, PA. The Randman and I were there several years ago. Check it out when you get the opportunity, and visit if you'd like.
Interesting and fun video, thanks Russ. Safe travels on the loneliest highway.
Russ as always a GREAT video... loved the old steam engine!!!
Railway museum was just great being able to get that close to working trains. What a cool town Ely is. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Too cool for school.!!! Great video.
You should have rode the train. It's very cheap and a great experience. We have done it a few times now and it never gets old.
Love all these old small towns there in a time warp , no modernisation here love it Russ ,thanks for the journey 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hey again Russ. Wow what a cool video nothing better than history from the USA. The railroad museum reminds me of an area here in Pa Called Strasburg. They run a real nice train there giving rides and an amazing museum with trains up through the ages. If ever in Pa and you have not been there yet as you say check it out. Thank you for another great video. What a lucky man to be traveling around like you do. Later Russ and safe journey.
Hi Russ. Old trains are really cool. We just got back from a trip to the NE and came across the North Conway railway museum and steam trains. Then if you are on the West side of Mt. Washington they run a cog train that runs on coal fired steam trains. That's a good one too. They are similar to the Ely museum but they are all unique.. Another one is in Union, Il.. so neat. The Durango to Silverton in Colorado! Trains are cool. We did the rte. 50 through Nevada and wound up in Mammoth. The Great Basin National park off of 50 east of Ely is neat. Free BLM parking right off of rte. 50.. so many museums everywhere if we just slow down to investigate you could be busy for decades learning so much. And they are cheap mostly. Old ship building museums in Maine coast. Fisherman's museum at Pemaquid lighthouse. $3!!! Why pass them up??
Great video love trains ty Steve
Steam Town in Scranton PA is very similar
❤
Those were some of the best local museums I have ever seen! Thanks a lot!
almost 100k subscriber. congratulations
Have you ever been to Chattanooga TN? We took one of the short train rides to their Round House. They have quite a few engines they were restoring
Another cool video and history lesson. Seems like Nevada had a lot of train activity in its time bringing supplies to the desert. This town kinda reminds me of Williams Arizona with the railroad and old town feeling. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Wow! This is one of the places I'm definitely putting on my next summer travel plans :-) Thank you for scoping this out Russ.
I love trains!!
So does your mom.
Hey Russ! 🙋♀️Wow! What a fantastic place. I've always had a fascination with trains. Probably because there were tracks at the end of the street when I was a little kid. We would hide in the stopped trains. Then there was the one time the train didn't stop for almost 100 miles and the cops brought the 5 year old girl, who managed to lose a sock in the escapade, home to her very upset father. LOL!
Was that camera a Kodak Brownie?
That's one of those museums where you pay or donate or whatever. Then, on the way out, you leave 'em a li'l more.
Been through Ely. Now I feel like two nights with an option'd be the play.
Steamtown National Park in Pennsylvania has summer rides on steam trains.
Hi Russ, you should swing over to Hawthorne, stay at whiskey Flats RV park, tour Walker lake, and tour the ordinance museum there in Hawthorne. It’s free. Hawthorne used to be an Army Depot. The ordinance museum has a lot of military memorabilia. You would enjoy it and so would your viewers. 😉
Just wondering if they made you wear safety glasses?
The Nevada Nothern Railway Museum is a classic example of a mining railroad. You have give credit to Kennecott Copper (now Kennecott Utah Copper), when they decided to shut down their operations in Ely, instead demolishing everything and selling off all of the machines, the company gave it all away to a local non-profit to start a museum and heritage railroad. There are now working on reopening the segment from Ruth to McGill, thanks to a $10 million federal grant.
the museum put out a video of the crane working out side lifting that engine u showed off a truck to the ground
another awesome video Russ! can you tell us the name of the white things on the rear of each side of van/small like fins that go from top to bottom. safe travels and see you next week
Did you call ahead to be able to walk through the warehouses and mechanic shop or were you just able to walk around and film? I'd love to photograph this all. Who did you speak with to give you access?
Who does the music you add to this and other tracks?
Ely Nevada The train museum fascinating. Hopefully will visit the town and explore.

I saw a comment a while ago by Tony b. Apparently it has been deleted? Did you delete it Russ? Or did RUclips delete it? It was sarcasm about coal burning trains charging electric cars. Hummmm?

I asked a question yesterday Russ about a comment that has been deleted from Tony b. If you are not deleting comments you should speak up. I take silence as guilt in this case. Just want to know if it's you or RUclips?
I hope you go after filming to actually enjoy your visit and read some of the things you show.
Me again! I'll repeat the comment by Tony b. He questioned if they could convert one of those coal burning locomotives into a electric car charger? Does that offend you, or RUclips, or who?
