Old Railroad Depot, East Ely, Nevada, USA

Old Railroad Depot, East Ely, Nevada, USA
Where you can now take a ride on the "Ghost Train," either up to Ruth (west, the site of the old copper mine) or out toward McGill (north, the site of the smelter for said mine.).

Ely ended up being the point where the Lincoln Highway and US 50 converged (or diverged, depending on which way you were going.) From Ely modern US 50 runs south and then west, over Sacramento Pass and into Utah. From Ely through Delta, Utah, US 50 and US 6 coincide. Even so, the route gets little traffic! For a time the original route of US 50 extended north-northeast to Wendover, UT, along what's now US 93 and Alt-93. "Ely" is pronounced "EE-lee," btw.
