A Ride on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, Part 3
A ride on the reconstructed Virginia and Truckee Railroad, from Virginia City to Carson City, Nevada. This trip takes us over the brand-new track that was built as part of the reconstruction project. The V&T was built in 1869 and abandoned in 1950. In 1976 Bob Gray relaunched the railroad in Virginia City, and by 1990 was running trains to Gold Hill. The State of Nevada built new track from Gold Hill to Carson City between 2005 and 2009. Part 3 shows the engine doodling around in the Carson ...

The mannequin of a woman you see is sitting on what qualified as the "toilet" for the rail crew: essentially a metal canister that opens out to the ground below (it was forbidden to use it while at a station, for obvious reasons). This steam engine was ...
