AT THE NEVADA NORTHERN RAILROAD MUSEUM

Nevada Northern Railroad, Ely, NV, 10 x 9 inch ink and watercolor by George C. Clark AVAILABLE

When I was out in Las Vegas a little over a month ago for the opening of the American Society of Railway Artists Exhibition I had a chance to drive up to Ely in central Nevada to see the remarkable Nevada Northern Railroad Museum which preserves an entire working railroad that served a big copper mine from the early 20th century until the mine closed in 1984. This is one of my drawn on-site sketches.
