Train rides are returning to the Nevada Southern Railway Museum in Boulder City.

The train starts up again Saturday, February 4. Riders travel seven miles along the historic Boulder Branch Line to Railroad Pass. The line was used to bring supplies to the Hoover Dam construction site in the 30s.

Travelers can either ride in the climate-controlled Pullman coaches that date back to 1911 or ride in the open-air coach. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 4 to 11. Children under 4 are free.

The train leaves at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., every Saturday and Sunday through February. Boarding for the ride starts 15 minutes prior to departure. 

The National Park Foundation will award Lake Mead NRA a 2012 Impact Grant to support the launch of two bilingual drowning prevention videos, a project that will educate people about how to prevent drowning by depicting real-life scenarios.

The grant is part of the National Park Foundation’s Impact Grant program, which gives parks the financial support needed to transform innovative yet underfunded ideas into successful in-park programs and initiatives.

“Most drownings can be easily prevented,” Superintendent Bill Dickinson said.  “Unfortunately there are 30 drownings at Lake Mead NRA each year.  These are heartbreaking events for families and park staff. These videos will help educate our visitors about how easy it is to prevent such a needless loss of life.”
