Nevada’s Pony Express Territory Facebook contest wraps up with California winner
The Pony Express Territory is pleased to announce that Victor Galbraith of Auburn, Calif. has won and accepted a free overnight stay in Ely and four tickets to experience the magic of Nevada’s original Polar Express train. When notified that he was the contest winner, Galbraith said, “My wife and I are excited to be bringing our Grandkids with us. They are going to have a blast!"
The Winter Wonderland trip on the annual Polar Express will be experienced by the Galbraith family at the historic Nevada Northern Railway in Ely—a fascinating museum and a National Historic Landmark, which has been featured repeatedly on the History Channel’s American Restoration.
Entering to Win Was Easy: Victor Galbraith simply liked and shared these two pages: www.facebook.com/ponyexpressnevada and www.facebook.com/nnry1 and then his name came up as the lucky winner chosen.

NEVADA’S PONY EXPRESS TERRITORY encompasses 17 million acres and 1,840 miles of wide-open space, rich cultural heritage, rugged undisturbed nature and black night skies. The Territory is where the Pony Express riders once galloped along its main trail, now Highway 50 with the six adventurous towns of Dayton, Fallon, Fernley, Austin, Eureka, Ely and one national park, Great Basin. Twenty years ago Life Magazine designated Nevada State Highway 50 “America’s Loneliest Road.” Visit http://www.ponyexpressnevada.com/ or call 1-888-359-9449.
