    This was fun. I'm from the area so I can help out with a couple of things. Pioche is pronounced pee-ohsh. The reason for daytime headlights is that when large stretches of desert roads and highways get hot it causes a sort of mist-like distortion. Headlights help make cars more visible to other drivers within that distortion.
    I hope you spend more time in the area!

    This is a great thing that you are doing for Nevada. Most people don't know about the wonders we have here in the Silver state. The one thing I would like to recommend is continuing on to Great Basin National Park. It will give you a completely different view of Nevada. It has very impressive mountains, forests, and even a cave to tour. Wheeler Peak is awesome. It looks like a pyramid glacier sticking out of the surface of the earth. Didn't d the cave though no dogs allowed. Except service dogs. Yeah no lazy dogs, really wow. Thanks again for the shout out.

    Adam you're correct, that train is the one from Orlando. A developer by the name of Bob Snow who was a big player here in Florida purchased a hotel in old Vegas and named it Main Street Station as a hat tip to Church Street Station. He then brought in relics from all over the world including a few of those train cars which used to reside in Orlando and put them in and around his Vegas casino. The rail cars were used by Buffalo Bill Cody and Annie Oakley during their traveling shows pre Deadwood days. Bob Snow was a prolific collector of various rare items from around the world. I used to own a claw-foot bathtub from England that was in his collection. He started liquidating things and then sold the Main Street Station to the Boyd group some years back. The open desert is a strange and mysterious place.

    Pioche is one of my favorite little towns. I used to love to shop in the antique store (owned by a guy from the Bronx and his wife,I came from the same neighborhood in the Bronx) the store was set up in sections like kitchen area, at the door there was a police Harley 3 wheeler with a manikin dressed in 50's police uniform. We stayed in a smell new "little house" on the main street. The people are very friendly and the area is almost as it was when the mine was working. Ely is another small town, my wifes father lived there and worked for a company that developed ejection seats for jets. The town folks are called "down winders" as many (including my father in law) died from radiation poisoning from the nuclear tests done nearby. The road to Ely is signed as the loneliest road in America, well named.

    I've driven on that highway many times. The "Lights On" during daylight hours is for safety, as in cars/semi-trucks passing into your lane of travel. I've seen several times why it's necessary.

    Oh wow. What are the odds that you would decide to travel down that quiet little highway that's off the beaten path, for you to find a seemingly random road that takes you to discover Ryanhenge, a Camel hanging out with a bunch of other animals, and of course Main Street Station. Honestly, all of that would have been amazing on its own, but we all know that you're Adam the Woo, so it absolutely cannot end there. Seeing the Main Street Station sign caused you to think about Church Street Station, a place that's thousands of miles away from where you are standing and as you were walking towards a railcar under the cover... boom! Right in front of you is a Church Street Station railcar. Seriously, what are the odds? Your ability to find things in places that seem to defy logic, is unbelievable. LOL. I can tell you I probably would have never gone down that road, let alone take the highway you're going down. You're a modern day Magellan. Lol

      Distance is kind of deceiving with the dips in the road. Some serious accidents of people driving fast and not paying attention. The county sheriff patrols the road and catches some guys trying to see how fast their car will go on those roads.

    I was back in Orlando Fl in 2015. Church Street Station area had had a lot of reconstruction/building which ruined the entertainment business' beside the station. Rosy O' Grady's was sold and a restaurant called Cerviche was in it's place with very few customers...Rosy's was a great place, a pity. The train carriage was used as an antique store back in the 80's. Great to see it again.

    If you want to experience an area with wild horses; you need to go to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. To get the best experience of the Outer Banks you need to stay in Corolla; North Carolina. To get there, you need to get to Kitty Hawk and then make a left. The road is a two lane road and you pass through a small town called Duck, and then you hit Corolla. The town of Corolla has literally no big name restaurants, two grocery stores and several shops. Then to see the horses, you need to have a 4x4 or take a horse tour as to get to the area where the horses are; you have to drive on the actual beach to the village of Corova in which there are no paved roads. You then drive through the small 4x4 village in which you will see several wild horses that will go up to people porches, graze in yards, may cross your path or may even be some playing on the beach itself. Then back in Corolla, they have one of the oldest working lighthouses that is still operated by a lighthouse keeper. The lighthouse keeper lives on property and you can actually climb to the top of the lighthouse and look out over the sound and ocean. You can also take a day trip south to see all of the Outer Banks lighthouses like Hateras. In addition; prior to crossing a bridge to the Outer Banks there is a place that allows you to ride in an actual monster truck that also has an old fashion diner and gift shop.
