Source Caption: Here is a classic scene from downtown Reno, Nevada in the late 1940's. Virginia & Truckee 4-6-0 #26 has just arrived in the late afternoon at the Southern Pacific Station on her run from Carson City. Once she drops off her passengers, she will head for the single stall enginehouse at the edge of town for the night. The next morning she will head back to Carson City with another mixed train of passengers and freight.
