Modelling 1.5" to the foot, the Live Steamers of the Friends of the Nevada Southern Railway operate a 7.5" gauge railroad in front of the Station Platform. We are constantly working on expanding our trackage (we have 1200 ft so far) and providing a different and unique railroading experience at the Nevada State Railroad Museum!
Depending on your interests, we have various opprotunities that could allow you to learn how to operate our railroad, construction of various projects (railway trestles, model buildings, etc), and becoming a bigger part of the Museum!
Meetings happen every Tuesday and Thursday of the week. Additionally we normally run during the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month (except during the Summer because of Heat and Janurary during our Maintenance period).
No skills required! We have many ways we could help you learn how to use a variety of tools and pieces of equipment.
Hope to see you out there!

The Friends of the Nevada Southern railway are the lifeblood of the museum operations in Boulder City. The Friends run the locomotives, maintain the equipment, create community opprotunities, and help create new exhibits and attractions on site. Whenever one visits the museum, more often than not the public only sees our volunteer staff. The organization had its foundation in 2007, but members have been working with museum staff since the museum's conception in 1985! We love the opprotunity to help preserve Nevada's railroading history, and welcome those who wish to join us!
