Source Caption: "Old 27 Comes Home" was the banner on No. 27 as it sat in Virginia City in the late summer of 1971. Note the fake stack still there, and a missing pilot. These are pictures I took at age 15 with my "Kodak Instamatic". My family would take occasional trips to VC from where we lived, near Sacramento (my father was a brakeman on the Nevada Northern, up to WWII, and my grandfather was a conductor in the 1930s and 40s--they lived in Ely).
