Item Description

Love chocolate? Who doesn't, right! Well your family (2 adults and 2 children) will join Nevada Northern Railway as they head up the hill to watch the sunset and enjoy a bounty of chocolate desserts. This train is the perfect excuse to skip dinner -- or eat it early, as it's specifically designed for those who want to indulge in just dessert -- and just chocolate desserts, to be sure. Soft drinks included; beer, wine and champagne available. Chocoholics Unite: this train is for you. The next two Chocolate Trains of 2011 depart from the East Ely station on Saturday evenings: July 23 and August 20 at 6:30 p.m.

The Nevada Northern Railway Museum, established in 1905, is a National Historic Landmark; the jewel in picturesque Ely, Nevada, halfway between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City (about 240 miles, with flights from Las Vegas' (McCarran Airport to Ely on Great Lakes Airlines). This "living," interactive Museum features operating steam and diesel locomotive trains, with approximately 60 acres of original, authentic grounds, track and buildings to explore. Guided and self-guided tours are complimentary with train rides. Trains run year-round, except March, to the delight of both children and adults. You can even ride in the cab with the Engineer -- or stay a night in a caboose. Of all preserved railroads in the country, The Nevada Northern Railway Museum is considered to be "the best...bar none" by the Smithsonian. It offers a variety of rare and unique programs, including Railroad Reality Weeks for teens and adults, Winter Photo Shoots, and the ever-popular "Be the Engineer & Take the Throttle" program, where one can actually operate/drive a locomotive -- no experience necessary; and now with the train (freight cars) attached. Besides Poland, the Nevada Northern Railway is the only place in the world to do this. It's a dream come true for many and the experience can even be shared by two. Gift certificates, group rates and private charters are available.
