Day 25 - May 25 2010 - Ely, NV to Payson, UT


After spending some time at the Nevada Northern Railroad yards and shops in Ely for about an hour, they have some very interesting and old equipment, like:
1907 Rotary Plow (wood sides - steam powered)
1917 Jordan Spreader
2 operating steam locomotives
several diesels and an assortment of rolling stock, all operational and running on weekends in the warmer weather.

We continued East on US50 for Payson, UT. See the snow falling in the mountains as we traveled on this highway.

We stopped in Baker for Gas, as the next station was passed our operational range, 250km, and we were not sure of gas a Border, UT (on the NV UT State Line), also had lunch there as well, only one car went through town in 60minutes!!

So we have now done the Loneliest Road in America.

After leaving Border, UT we continues 200km to Delta, UT, more gas again before taking some of the ranch roads which are interesting with cattle and sheep on the road, remember this is OPEN RANGE, so no night riding!

Got to Payson at 5:30pm, now on Mountain Daylight time.
