The Ghost Train Returns

Coming down the canyon into Ely, Nevada during their
annual Fire and Ice Festival after a run up to Ruth, Nevada.
The steam engine, the whistle, the brakes hissing and people
along US 50 cheering, whooping and honking their horns
as they got into pickups and cars to chase it into town for
the fireworks fired off the trains down by the brothels.
Yeah! It really happens and they do it every year!

(Fortunately all the drunks I met were happy and friendly. Fun was had by all.)
