ELY, Nevada — Utah isn’t the only state in the Mountain West celebrating the holidays.
The Nevada Northern Railway brings in the cheer with an adventure to the North Pole on “Santa’s Reindeer Flyer” Christmas train.
“We leave from the East Ely Depot and we head to the North Pole,” said Mark Bassett, the president of the Nevada Northern Railway Museum. “We don’t have any snow in Ely right now, but we have a special agreement with Santa and we go through the ‘Magic Switch.’ The Magic Switch lets us get to the North Pole lickety-split.”
Watch the video above for more from Santa and the kids who experienced the magic!
There’s still plenty of time to make it to the event. It will happen again Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week.
Then on Jan. 18 in Ely, you can watch fireworks being shot off the back of a moving steam locomotive during the Fire and Ice Festival.

Clark County teachers’ union plans to back film tax bill in Nevada
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Clark County Education Association has announced it will support the film tax bill (AB238) during the special session.
According to the Governor’s Office, a special session will be held Thursday to discuss several issues.
The teachers’ union says the bill is expected to create thousands of jobs, which they believe would be filled by Clark County School District students. The proposed bill in the 2025 Legislative Session would reportedly help fund pre-k education programs.
CCEA officials announced in a press release that an amended version of the bill will be proposed in the Special Session. The changes to the bill would reflect a proposed partnership with CCSD and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to offer early childhood career opportunities for CCSD students.
The union says there are various benefits linked to enhancing early childhood education, funding programs, and collaborative efforts within the public education system.

Nevada No. 3 for biggest percentage change in premiums after getting a speeding ticket
RENO, Nev. — If you get a speeding ticket in Nevada, your auto insurance will increase more than it would in most other states, according to a new study by LendingTree.
The study ranks Nevada third in the country for the biggest percentage change in premiums after getting a speeding ticket, behind California and Michigan in first and second place respectively.
“For sure in California, and I have family in Nevada, but we all pay high insurance for sure,” one driver, Ronalso Mandac, said.
Across the nation, the average annual increase after getting a speeding ticket is $524.74. Meanwhile in Nevada, the average annual increase is significantly more at $873.54. That’s just for a single speeding ticket for going 11 to 15 miles over the limit.
The study also finds that younger drivers face the biggest rate hikes. For 20-year-olds, the average annual premium is $4,092.50, jumping to $5,276.17 after getting a speeding ticket. In contrast, 30-year-olds pay an average annual premium of just $2,105.42, which increases to $2,691.58 after getting a ticket.
“I’ve definitely had experiences where my rates have gone up,” another driver, Daniel, said. “I was in a rear-end accident. It wasn’t my fault, but as you know, unfortunately it goes up. That’s just the name of the game from my understanding.”
Expert tips include using diversion programs, raising your deductible and getting quotes from various providers before accepting a rate.
The study from LendingTree can be viewed here.
