Dirt...the Cat!

 

Nevada Northern Railway Museum

And there's a CAT!!

The last time I was here the regular guide was ill and the executive director, Mark Bennet, led the tour. This time I was equally lucky. John, from St. Petersburg, Florida, followed his son here and was doing carpentry on the wooden cars. He showed me through one of the better coaches that had stained glass windows and a special section for the smoking men. 

John said Kennecott closed the place in 1983. It went full-time, twenty-four-hours-a-day, around the turn of the century. When it closed, they left everything, including the engines, cars, tools, everything, where it was.
