Hoover Dam/Power Plant/Historic Engines & Railcars Tour, SM Grp
Overview
One of seven Industrial World Wonders, Hoover Dam is a concrete gravity-arch dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between Arizona and Nevada. You’ll take the elevator with a guide to the bottom as he/she describes this modern marvel. At the bottom, you’ll tour the powerplant, seventeen main turbine-generator combinations that generate a maximum of 2,074 megawatts of hydroelectric power.
Next, Historic Era Railroad Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in learning more about our country's history or how railroads shaped our nation and Hoover Dam. Boulder City was the federal town established to house workers on the Hoover Dam project. The U.S. Government and Six Companies both operated railroads between the Boulder City Yard and Hoover Dam. These essential railways made the construction of the dam possible and continued to play a vital role in the process well into the 1960s.
Lunch is optional, we'll choose from Cornish Pasty to local favorite restaurants
