Nevada Northern Railway’s Fireworks Express a Pyrotechnic Display Unlike Any Other
Nevada Northern Railway Museum’s Fireworks Express train ride offers a firework show from the back of a moving train on Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend.
On Saturday, Jan. 16, historic locomotive 93 steams out of the museum and through downtown Ely to launch its fireworks for both onlookers and passengers. Started in 2009 for the locomotive’s centennial celebration, the fireworks express is a popular event and seats on the train often sell out.
Passengers can watch from an open-air flat car or stay in a heated coach car (or move between the two). Tickets cost $32 for adults and $16 for children (4-12), and the train departs at 4:30 p.m. to launch the fireworks at 6:15 as it emerges from the tunnel just outside of downtown Ely.
