Nevada State Railroad Museum

When you have a little boy who likes trains.... you visit a lot of train depots and museums. While we were in Las Vegas and visiting the Hoover Dam, we made a detour for this little excursion. The museum and parked trains are located in Boulder City, Nevada; the city that built the Hoover Dam. (Seriously, this city was created to develop and build the man-made wonder. Worth a Wikipedia read.)

The museum is smaller and they only offer train rides on certain days; however, there is an in depth review of the U.S. mail system, mail cars, and couriers that was fascinating. Truly worth the stop.
