The Great Summit Tunnel of the Sierra Nevada - made by hand for the first transcontinental railroad!

The longest and most challenging tunnel of the first transcontinental railroad was tunnel #6 at 1,659 feet long - and you can still walk all the way through it! Plus a kinda-stop at the Brewing Lair in Graeagle, California. This tunnel was built by hand and explosives only! Reno, Nevada owes its existence to the first railroad across the continent, and this supremely historic location is only about 45 minutes west of Reno above Truckee, California. It's a great day trip that you can bring along the kids for. We'll show you how a 1600 foot tunnel that would accommodate an entire train was bored through the very summit of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. #history #train #craftbeer Visit our merch shop!

I've had a lifelong interest in historical topics, and spend much time exploring and researching this wonderful area. I started this channel to share some of what I've learned. I produced a full-length documentary film on the history of Harolds Club casino in 2015. Perhaps you're thinking of moving to Reno and are looking for background on the area, or you're already a resident and this content might help give you a sense of place. I shall endeavor to cater to both groups! I'm also a craft beer enthusiast, and thought I'd talk about some of that brewery scene here as well. I started homebrewing 31 years ago in 1992, and earned the Certified Cicerone designation in 2015 - this is a sommelier-esque program for beer people. Please subscribe, share and come along with me on this journey! Thanks and cheers! Steve
