Document Description
The Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum NCNGRR proposes to extend the track from the Northern Queen Inn grounds into the paved roadbed of Railroad Avenue. On selected weekends and special holidays, they will run an original steam locomotive, Old No. 5 or an alternate, along with selected rolling stock, from the museum yard to the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Sacramento Street, where the engine will be on display to the public. The operation will present living history, where the public can actually see, hear, and experience the steam locomotive in operation, as well as be able to examine the equipment while on display.
