 Mark Twain got his start (and lots of material) while living at the Comstock. |
V&T Railroad Ride and TourI hear that train a comin’!Nevada's most famous short line is the Virginia & Truckee Railroad that connected Reno with Carson City, Virginia City, and Minden. Operating for 80 years, the V&T was Nevada's Bonanza Railroad as it hauled valuable Comstock ore to quartz reduction mills located at Silver City and along the Carson River. The V&T Railroad recently underwent a $30-million expansion, one of the most exciting additions to the area in a number of years. The V&T now connects Carson City to Virginia City and offers daily trips back and forth between the two communities. Visitors can board the historic railway in Carson City and arrive in Virginia City just like "back in the day." Website for more info:
