Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Nevada Northern No. 40 is a 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" type steam locomotive which was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, PA in July 1910 for the Nevada Northern Railway Company. It now currently resides at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely, Nevada.


Along side it is a 1956 Pontiac station wagon hi-rail. The recently restored Pontiac is nearly identical to one the railroad purchased from Fairmont Railway Motors, a Minnesota company that specialized in building maintenance-of-way speeders and motor cars, back in 1956. While many hi-rail vehicles were built from trucks, Nevada Northern Hy-Rail No. 18 was built from a four-door station wagon. Nevada Northern President Mark Bassett says he found the 1956 Pontiac on eBay for a reasonable price and thought that it would make a neat project for the railroad. With the help of some grants from the State of Nevada and the Great Basin Heritage Area Partnership, the railroad worked with an auto shop to restore the vehicle and have the hi-rail equipment installed, enabling it to run on rails.
