This project consists of design work to rehabilitate and restore to operation 16.35 miles of historic railroad track from East Ely Depot to McGill Depot in White Pine County Nevada, including the two highway railroad crossings to Federal Railroad Administration Class 2 standards. Also, complete the McGill Depot restoration to include three restrooms, design a parking lot 10,000-15,000 square feet with lighting, design a railroad turntable at the McGill Depot to turn the locomotives around. Design work for the following is also to be included: A 0.5 to 0.8 mile lighted walking trail with outdoor displays at the McGill Depot area. Six designated safe railroad crossings in association with the trail system that is adjacent to the track. Plans for grading 10,000 feet of a multiuse trail within the railroad right of way between Ely & McGill for connectivity to existing trails located on BLM administered public land. Directional signage for trail users along the trail system.
