Western Railroad Discussion > Lets wish the Nevada Northern good luckDate: 04/23/14 21:05 Lets wish the Nevada Northern good luck Author: webmaster I believe this is the third time they have applied for a Tiger Grant to reopen the Nevada Northern to the mainline. If they get their money the line will once again be moving freight across the 60 pound rail. I wish them the best as this would be a wonderful gift for Northern Nevada. A Walmart distribution center is kind of reaching, but moving mining concentrate would be feasible. Last year's grant asked for new ties, road crossings, and included ballast from the mine to support the roadbed.

Date: 04/23/14 22:37 Re: Lets wish the Nevada Northern good luck Author: truxtrax I would hope that the grant will provide enough so the 60lb. rail could be upgraded
so they can haul 286K at least at a minimum 20-25mph. Larry Dodgion Wilsonville, OR Date: 04/24/14 06:24 Re: Lets wish the Nevada Northern good luck Author: mopacrr What traffic and how much does Nevada Northern plan on moving? Is there any on line customers left north of Ely?
