Stay on Route 6

US Route 6 is the longest contiguous transcontinental route in the USA. Running from Provincetown, MA to Bishop, CA (and before 1964 to Long Beach, CA), Route 6 goes through 14 states. This is your guide along all of its original 3,652 miles. From Revolutionary War sites to pioneer settlements and western mining towns, Route 6 offers an in-depth lesson in US History, charms of yesteryear and comforts of modern times.

Buy Stay On Route 6 Guidebook For Less Than $10 Just In Time For A Spring Road Trip

Can you feel it?  That hint of Spring in the air.  Well, maybe not at the moment, with the snowstorm of the week managing to mess up travel and traffic and weekend plans.  But Spring is coming, I swear (though not like a sailor), and with it, the promise of new adventures.



If you or someone you like enjoys the offbeat road trip, or wants to see parts of the USA that not many tourists get to, buy Stay On Route 6; Your Guide To All 3,652 Miles of Transcontinental US Route 6.  For just a pittance (Amazon.com has reduced the price from $14.99 to around $9.50) you can sit by the hearth and be an armchair cross-country traveler.  And then in the summer, you can do it for real.

Our official season of train rides kicks off on Sat., April 13 with White Pine Weekend and the Volunteer Train. Train leaves the station at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The first dinner train of the season is the popular Rockin' & Rollin' Geology Train on May 18, followed on May 25 with the also popular Wild West Train. All 2013 dinner trains will be pulled by steam locomotives. Tickets on sale now. See www.nnry.com or call 775-289-2085 for schedule and ticket information. Photo taken by Alex Ramos

      I’ve posted three sketches in a row (drawing was my first love) and this one is like a mirror image to the previous one. So, those that know me know that I’m not a Hawkeye fan (huge understatement, I know). I’ve been one of the biggest Cyclone fans since I was little. That being said I remember when the Hawkeye Nation lost Chris 20 years ago in a car accident and my heart hurt like the rest of the state when it loses one of its sons. So take note Hawk fans, here’s one of the few times you’ll see me create something Hawk friendly. It’s a tip of the hat to a great coach and a tribute to a great Iowa athlete taken too soon.

      And Hawk fans...it’s not for sale. I’m not licensed to sell U of I merch. So, you can look but you can’t touch :)

      We at the NNRY would also like to applaud a fellow railroad museum all the way in Roanoke VA, on their latest announcement involving a special locomotive.

      We know here at the NNRY that it is not only rewarding when we fire up our old 93 and 40 as well as all our other pieces of equipment, but it is just as equally rewarding to see a piece of our history return to life again and that is exactly what is happening at the Virginia Museum of Transportation with the newly released website that is spreading the word and receiving donations to do tests on the only surviving N&W J class streamliner locomotive #611 to fire it back up to operations once more.

      Congratulations, our whistles and bells ring for you, be sure to check out their website and to wish them congrats and blessings on this event http://fireup611.org/main/index.php

      Be sure to stay tuned on our site too for more updates, and announcements! :)


      Fire Up 611!

      The Norfolk & Western Class J Locomotives were a marriage of beauty and power. The teardrop nose, modern lines, graceful curves and deep-throated whistle combined with unbridled power to make the engine the iconic symbol of modern steam locomotives.
