Virginia and Truckee steam train Gold Hill to Virginia City, Nevada

The Virginia and Truckee is one of America's oldest railroads. Originally built to serve the mining industry. Tracks were laid in 1869 and follow a 14 mile stretch of the original line from Virginia City to Gold Hill, Nevada. The locomotive puts on a good show as it climbs the 3% grade towards Virginia City. Most of this area looks very much like it did a hundred years ago. For more information click link here www.virginiatr...

Neat! I live in Gold Hill, NC but it's no where near as beautiful as Gold Hill, NV. This is on my bucket list of tourist railroads to visit.

Wonderful

[@captaintrips2980]

I just watched some videos of old gold mines and the wheels on the old mining carts were made by Virginia and Truckee.
I wonder what they are using to produce steam. It's not coal or wood, I don't see much smoke

[@badgimp4577]

Same type of loco as the one at Huckleberry RR in MI! :) I see they have the oil conversion on this engine instead of using coal. Thanks for sharing!

That Nathan 5 Chime sounds like the current whistle from Nevada Northern Railway 93…
