V&T Enginehouse, 1950s

Nevada State Library and Archives

This photo by John Nulty shows the Carson City yards of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad in the early 1950s. The final run of the V&T was May 31, 1950, and the tracks were taken up soon afterwards. This shows the remnants after the rails were removed. There is still a lot of junk littering the ground in front of the stone enginehouse. The Carson freight depot is seen in the background.
