What a story... An area that gives one the impression of being frozen in time. I loved touring the back shops... So much history there.. So nice to know that this railroad is being preserved. Long live #40!
Hi Dale -- Your video of #40 backing out of the engine house and gradually disappearing into a cloud of steam, then you fading to white, was CLASSIC! This is among your best videos. Your voice here is gold!
Geeeeee! Thanks!! What a day it was too. Wet, but great!!!
Sitting here watching this on my 60" TV sipping southern Comfort and crushed ice remembering my days in the Machine shop at turning wheel sets 1971 while you tour us through their shops 2016 .I thank you for that. Temp is 38c and your at 25f better become a duck an fly south fer the winter oh and don't forget turn left at Albe.................. Cheers Les
+WEUSANDCORR Always looking for a warmer place. Check this Sundays show on that!

The sequence of #40 reversing out of the engine house into the light without a single human in site is gorgeous and just a little bit eerie. Please keep up the excellent documentation and screwing around!
should have been sight not site...
Old iron from yesteryear. Thanks and yes I enjoy your shows always. Interesting and informative !!! A+ entertaiment
+ScottyRockTrains Thanks!!! Do share! AND BIG THANKS!!!!
Dale,
Love all your shows !!! watch them every Sunday night at work. I'm really glad you posted this video because I too got a "Once in a life time chance" for my son and best friend to get a private tour of the back shop of the Colorado Railroad Museum last summer which the public never gets to see. So like you I cherish that moment for ever.
Keep up the good work and keep em coming.
+Ronnie Davis Wow love to tour that. Anyway, glad you like it and keep sharing.
Very cool shop tour, of all the special areas.Yes - a lot of cool equipment.Like the back shop.
• Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
+trainroomgary Great place too. And "only" 250 miles from here.
Hallo . Die Caboose Ist wie ein Eigenheim von innen .Im Winter wenn es Kalt ist und ein schöner Warmer Ofen mit Holz oder Kohle am Brennen .Das ist Romantik Pur !
+Werner Sievers Hallo! Wir wären gerne noch ein "miesen" in den Bergen als Refugium. Nur um zu gehen und in Frieden mit der Welt. Zumindest für ein paar Minuten.
Thanks for sharing this really awesome stuff!
Beautifully photographed and edited. Thank you!
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing the story and providing so much detail. I hope one day I can make it out to Ely and see everything for myself. Thanks again.

+efitter7 Off the map but well worth it.
Hey I’m from ely and it’s amazing so please come down

Well done sneaking in
Loved this story and the one before., Thanks much !!!
I love this one. One of my favs.
Just a wonderful video~
Another winner!
+Thomas Coughran Thanks!!! Keep watching and sharing.
This place is a rip in the space time continuum. Where time stopped when railroad was closed. Very few places can boast this. The East Broad Top may fall into this, Strasburg too, but very few have this type of magic.
I was lucky enough to be there in 1991 when Ely was given the rail road by Kennecott. they had had possession of it for about three months when I got there, and they opened up the buildings and we all walked through looking at everything. I cannot describe how amazing it was. No one has been in those buildings since the mid-60s. And even then it looks like nothing has been changed since the mid 40s.
Amazing video, great work.
+Kevin Christensen Thanks. Just subed to you channel! Had not for some reason...
+Toy Man Television Cool thank you! :)
I LOVE Your videos
THANKS!!! Do share it around.
Now that was really cool stuff TM!!☺
+805ROADKING Great place!!
That lighting at 9:49 - MY GOODNESS SIR
TJ Lani On the Engine Board was my great great Uncle! I guess it passed down through the blood line to me, because I volunteer
there now! 93's my baby!
NICE!!! Love that place. Need to get out there more often. Just not that far from here. Love to to the "be the engineer" thing, and shoot the snow trip, but it's all so expensive! But all in good time I guess!
Toy Man Television Yes it is expensive, but it is well worth the money
Great video. Thanks
+waltworld Thanks! Keep watching. More fun to come. And do share!
Another "Brilliant" installment of Toy Man Television. What a jewel of a place and to have the inner sanctum opened to you was just, "Fandamntastic". As always we cannot wait until next Sunday, or any sort of Wednesday madness that may occur in your sporadic manor. By now a track plan must be afoot for your HOn3 layout. It's okay to share that any time.
Toy Man You have just great videos.
I enjoy them much!
+Hans Åhsgren Thanks!! Tell your friends.
Go to Savannah GA. They have a roundhouse railroad museum. They have an operating steam locomotive. An operating turntable. Locomotive shops. Everything you could imagine how it was way back in the day. Take a sight tour by rail pulled by a switcher steam or diesel locomotive, tour the locomotive shops. You'll see how much abundance of trains existed. Now it's a ghost town.
+Pinchie08 Have ALWAYS wanted to go there. Applied for a teaching job there buy no go. Anyway, on my bucket list!!
Amazing and interesting clip. Not only the rolling stock, but the machinery that kept it alive! :) Jack
+Jack R What a place. The land time forgot. Back in the 80's when I first went there there were many 60's cars being driven as that's all people had. Today it's more like 90's cars.
Great video guys! I like your laid back but interesting and friendly narration, really adds to the video! i look forward to going through your collection!
Cheers Gregg.
+FishplateFilms We are about to start unpacking!!!!!!!! 15 years in boxes!!
+Toy Man Television I look forward to it.

Sir, that fadeout with number 40 backing out is spectacular and, for me, that shot sums up the video perfectly. This video affected me. I will travel to Ely and see that facility. It's only a mere 2,236 miles from my home. Great work. Thank you.
+Robert Frazier That's quite a drive. Even if you fly the nearest airport is 250 miles away. But well wort the trip!
Best produced vids on YT. Thx.
+skeeterweazel Thanks back at you!!!! Do share!! (We love making them so comments like this are GREAT!!! THANKS)
That was amazing. Way too short though. Id love to spend hours exploring the machine shop and foundry. Would be amazing to see them casting new parts.
+Jon Woods Be great if they used the tools. Some they do, but mostly just there.
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, video. The standout for me, did you see the light fixture in the mail car? Fantastic! but the best and overall highlight for me, was seeing the machine and casting tools in the machine shop. If they could somehow, bring it back to full life, or thereabout, if the public could see it, it would be an incredible draw, I think. Even if not working, they should put it on a tour. A great time piece, this video. Again, wonderful work!
+rohnerw Love to see them doing more. What a place. They do get many people out there, but hard to get much done as they are so off the map. BUt then that's why it survived so...
Very interesting back shop, and the Pullman looks great, it's unfortunate that she not running anymore.
+pbyfr Real shame Damaged in the wreck in 1993. Not badly, but they fear making it worse so it just sits. It's a bit out of square.
ohh a preserved steam era backshop and blacksmith shop, they totally should totally put that to use there are not many places thave have wheel lathes anymore, or an old drop hammer like that they could totally fabricate parts if they wanted to get it running again and people willing to do so, if they dont already, much like straussburg in lancaster penn.
They should!! As they are mostly cut off from the UP main, harder to do. Track still there, but not used.
they absolutly should if they have all that and it actually still works, it dont look like its rusted much as its desert problably, so not like the north and its been inside this whole time. oh there are few places like that, or they should at very least get some people in there to set some of the machines up so people can see how they would have been used even if they only machine parts on a limited basis, most of the historic railroads dont even have a proper machine shop, and would love to have those things so they can work on their own projects and not have to farm it out as most of them are non profits, like the home of 1225 and our place in new haven for 765 we barely have any machine shop space, we have 3 lathes, 1 bridgeport a band saw for metal, a table saw, and lots of welders, and hammers, wrenches of all kinds, torch fuel tanks, and some cranes, oh and 2 heavy drill presses one really large and old they call the widowmaker that looks like it could drill into a rail wheel, and some jacks, but thats about it and we could certainly use some of the mills, that are in there and presses, yea we have some press breaks and a hydralic jack shop press, but no real machine shop to speak of
I hope they reopen the tracks north to the UP. Going to explore those on the show this summer. Good shape!! Just weeds and a few small trees in the way. The shops were in use when everyone was laid off. So all working 100%!!! When I first aw this in 1997 or so, the coffee cups were still on the benches. People just walked away. Hum... I have video of that!! Old standard def. but.....
Toy man and his spooky voice and music lol.
We are heading back for Halloween
What is the piece of music you used at 10:00? Its very fitting for a place forgotten by time such as Ely, Nevada.
+SierraRailway I have a bunch of music I recorded or own rights to. For the shows I use a library called Smart Sound. It allows me to edit with ease, change the length, even the feel of the music. Not sure which piece this is, one of like 1000 I have in that set, but I altered it up a bit and it works great!!!
SierraRailway Nevada is a town
I love these videos that show the inside of old passenger cars and odd things like the Jordan spreader. What is cool in the next town over they have a Jordan spreader on a siding that is still in use. I love how you also show the old structures. I have a On30 layout and love to make building that are similar to old things. Is this railroad standard gauge? Keep making these great videos. I so love them.
Hi. Where is the spreader?
nice video toy man
+Carson Kane Thanks Carson!
+Toy Man Television your welcome I really like that 4-6-0...that was really amazing and all of those abandoned like diesels and freight cars it kinda makes me feel sad that no one would ever try to fix them is what I think but I know there are people who do...but I love everything in this video!
There is a sadness to places where things are fading away. In Ely most is not fading. But you can't go to places like Ely and feel some sense of loss.
+Toy Man Television that's true and thank u for commenting
East Broad Top was the same way. They closed the doors and went home. Most everything survives except all the lines. Sadly due to money it's no longer a tourist railroad it's shuttered again just like in the late 1950's.....
Dang!!! Want to see it
The goat Trains
Hiya Mr. Toy Man, could you find the name of the soundtrack you used for this project between 8:27 and 11:02? Thanks in advance!
HI!! Are you with the Sierra? We really need to get out there!!! Anyway, I use Smart Sound, a program that lets you take music and cut it onto bars, or 2 bars, or 1/2 bars, and usually access the "stems", the groups of instruments. A track of drums, bass, strings etc. They sell music (with rights so we can use it on the channel) recorded by many people, in this case Robert Band. I don't recall what he called that piece, but it has also been altered to fit the shops. I really love his music. This set of recording he called "Americanna".
Love it! What is that music you are using around 10:30 ? Cheers!
+OGST - Official Game Sound Tracks All my music is from Smart Sound. Have you seen their ap and music? Fun way to do music. Not sure which piece that was, something I have from them. Recut to fit with the ap. If you want the name I can open the old session and look it up.
+Toy Man Television Would very much love to know the name of that soundtrack MK7 Media refers to! It might be something I could find for use in a future video project.
It snows in Nevada?
Did they have any machinists there who could operate the lathes and presses? Seeing the anvil there makes me think about how well a half a foot or less of steel rail track makes for an awesome anvil. Yes walking in and being handed your walking papers sucks. What made it worse was being owed a couple of weeks pay and never ever seeing that money. All I can say is that I'm glad at the time I didn't have children or a mortgage.

I was wondering if North Carolina would be too far for you to go for a show. I would like to see you do a show on Tweetsie Railroad. I sent you I email with some of my flying around.
+Daniel Mccoy Need to check email. Love to see the Tweetsie at some point. Always wanted to se that.
+Toy Man Television if you can go on there railfan weekend or whatever they're calling it now.
Do you ever watch the road while driving?
leif Jenkinson ...... Well..... Actually... When driving on a residential street, one should be checking for traffic... Vehicles... on all sides, as the “road” was a through street with 4 way stops.. driveways entering the street. Why would anyone just focus on the road?
P.S. No construction barrels were harmed in making this show.
Whats the song at 10:06 called?
Hi. Not sure.. it’s music I buy from Smartsound and then rework to fit the show. I’ll find the music on different libraries under different names too! I think that one came from a collection called cinematic moments. And the cue might be a remix of another realm.
The loos on trains
