Place: Currie Train Station, Currie, Nevada, United States

Description

The railroad in Currie started in 1908 to help transport people and goods during the copper smelting boom. By the late-thirties, bus and auto travel from Ely to Wendover was more preferred than the railroad. On July 31, 1941, railroad passenger service was discontinued by the Northern Nevada Railway. But according to the Nevada Northern & Railroads of White Pine County Site from 1906 to 1941, in excess of 4.6 million rail passengers passed through Currie. The Ely copper smelters closed on June 20, 1983. One day later the railroad was closed.
