Engine number 5 from the Northern Nevada Railway (side angle). The Northern Nevada Railway was built mostly to access the copper producing White Pine County. It was headquartered in Ely, Nevada. The railway’s “Ore Line” became one the busiest in Northern Nevada around 1908, servicing past Ely and Robinson Canyon to busy copper mines in Ruth. The Ruth area smelters ceased operations in 1983, leading to the termination of the Northern Nevada Railway. The photograph measures 20” x 7” and is in Fair condition. Several cracked sections running along the left and top edges, fading throughout the upper third.
