Keith, Thanks for the info, and welcome to Trainboard! A personal note: During my summer in Nevada, I had plenty of opoportunities to browse, shoot & chase the Nevada Northern in action. Besides the 93, they also have two other steam locomotives in the shops, as well as several diesels and two steeplecab electrics. The steam ride to Keystone (just outside Ruth, the onetime mine site) and the diesel run on the Highline to McGill (site of the smelter) are both worth the trip. ALso, check out all the vintage roling stock. Go to Nevada Northern website for even more information.
