I will be open for guided tours on the first Saturday of each month. The tours are led by an experienced docent who is quite familiar with my history and preservation work. The tours are limited to 4-6 guests. No food or drink is allowed and backpacks are left securely stored in my observation compartment. Please bring your cameras and take lots of photos of me to share with your friends. Donations are gratefully accepted to help with my preservation and restoration work performed by our volunteers.

We are always looking for more volunteers to help with preservation work and to aquaint others about my biography.

Please drop by and visit me at the Nevada State Railway Museum in Boulder City, Nevada.

Thank you,
Ellsmere

The restoration staff of Ellsmere is back to work after the pandemic and other interruptions. We will be posting more information as we make progress with the interior and some exterior work that is necessary. Stop by and see one of the very few remaining examples of a private railroad passenger car from the gilded age of railroading. We will post opening days and times in the near future. Thank you for your interest in one f the most beautiful railcars built for the American railroads.
