Nevada State Railroad Museum’s monthly railroad lecture is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026. The listing gives a one-hour time slot but no speaker or talk title.

All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
The November Behind the Rails lecture comes with a practical wrinkle: it starts after the museum’s usual listed closing time. The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., but its listing does not explain evening entry.
Behind the Rails is held on the second Thursday of each month and features experts on railroad subjects. For Nov. 12, the listing does not identify a presenter, title or narrower subject. Visitors can choose the evening for its general railroad focus, but cannot yet match it to a particular railroad, locomotive or era.

The museum’s posted general hours are 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Thursday through Monday, earlier than this lecture’s start. That does not establish whether the museum will be closed to lecture attendees; call ahead to confirm how to enter for the 6:30 p.m. program.
