Filming the Shootist

Noreen Humphreys Collection

A still from the filming of "The Shootist" in Carson City, starring John Wayne. Filming was done at the Krebs-Peterson House at 500 N. Mountain Street. Temporary trolley tracks were laid down the street for the filming.

This horse-drawn streetcar reportedly was from the 1870s and orinigally ran on the Spring and Sixth Street Railroad in Los Angeles. It later became part of the Bothwell Collection, and was sold at auction in 2017.
