Virginia and Truckee on Display

UNLV Libraries Single Item Accession Photograph Collection

After the V&T Railroad ceased operations, Engine #27 was put on display at various spots around the area. Here it is on display at the north end of Carson City, along with Combination Car No. 18 and Mail, Express & Baggage Car No. 21. These three pieces of equipment ran on the final day of operations, May 31, 1950. They were donated to the State of Nevada afterward. In 1955 they were placed here in north Carson, where they stayed until 1961 when vandals lit a fire inside the train cars.
