Carson City's Old Enginehouse

This photo shows the Virginia and Truckee's secondary enginehouse in Carson City. This wooden barn sat at the west end of town, near the corner of Mountain and Caroline. It was used to store locomotives or passenger cars, whatever equipment needed to be kept out of the weather. Here, in its later years, you can see the three-way stub switch poking through the weeds. It was torn down shortly after the line was abandoned in 1950.
