The Las Vegas segment of the Caliente Sub begins in good ole downtown Las Vegas. Crews change here and the new crews getting onto eastbound trains are embarking onto the Caliente Sub. This section has some very scenic locations and easy access to much of the track. There are a few locals to watch up near Valley and the mainline trains heading out of town put on a show around Garnet and Dry Lake. This is desert railroading at its best. Be prepared for fast trains and lots of heat, at least in the summer anyway. Go to my Las Vegas North Map and Info Page for maps, directions, and railfan info.
