Item Description

Enjoy a family four pack (two adults, two children) to the Haunted Ghost Train! 

 

The spooktacular Haunted Ghost Trains on the Nevada Northern Railway were a complete sell-out last year and it's no wonder. More than 100 volunteers with twisted imaginations have joined together to provide particularly gory, scary scenes all along the way. Riders remain safe on the train, while listening to upbeat music and watching in humorous horror as haunting characters and scenes unveil themselves. Costumes are encouraged. Haunted Ghost Trains run every Saturday night in October at 7 p.m. Early reservations strongly suggested. Candy, soda, water, beer and wine available on the train. This is a fun one!



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.
