[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] Interesting that you mention Wells, NV, Mr. Norman. A couple years ago we visited the Nevada Northern Ry. which is a working museum complete with steam and a functioning roundhouse/shops. It is little changed in the past 100 years. Its mainline extended from Ely, NV to a SP interchange at Shafter and then to the WP at few miles further Cobre, NV. Presumably because the area is so desolate (you get to it via US 50, the so called 'loneliest road' in the US), that the only passenger service was via 'motor coach' from Ely to Wells, 28 miles east of Shafter. At Wells, the official guide list connections to the WP, SP. Greyhound, and Burlington and Twin Falls-Wells bus line. There are active discussions now to have a large coal fired utility plant built on the out of service portion of the mainline which would require an interchange again at Shafter or Cobre.
