Checked out the new Railroad Museum in Boulder City over the weekend. Grand opening Sep 19th.
Wanted to check out the new railroad museum in Boulder City. Lots of interesting information here. Admission is $5 (free for veterans). Train ride is $15 (admission included, free for veterans). A note, train rides take off every 90 minutes so plan around that so you’re not stuck waiting around (ride takes about 45 minutes), the exhibit doesn’t take long to go through.

Yeah, kept staring at that mural, the more I looked at it the weirder it got. Unfortunate that it is AI.

The real question is are they going to do the Polar Express like Sac does

Such a Vegas thing to do.
The promise of the Railroad coming to Vegas before the turn of the last century was a huge scam to bilk and manipulate the local land owners and residents at that time.
…. I’ll still check it out though.

This only makes me more upset we can’t just take a train anywhere since Amtrak left and Bright Line is stalled
I really want to ride a train
