Ride That Train!

by | Jul 18, 2018 | Features & Gunfights

The Virginia & Truckee Railroad’s #29 Robert C. Gray 1916 Baldwin 2-8-0 consolidation locomotive was named in honor of the 96-year-old president of the V&TRR. Gray, who rode the last V&T train into Virginia City as a 17-year-old in 1938, bought the defunct line in 1972, 102 years after the train first operated between Virginia City and Carson City. — Photo by Liz Huntington, Courtesy Virginia & Truckee Railroad
