Steampunk Steam Train Adventure 2010 DustyCouture.Com

Steampunk adventure aboard an actual steam locomotive on the historic & recently restored Virginia Truckee Rail Line. In attendance are ladies and gentlemen from the Sacramento Steampunk Society, the Great Basin Costume Society, and several steamy Bay Area contingents. We had costumed fun all throughout the day and the rail workers and patrons especially loved us. It was my birthday present to myself and if you haven't ridden on a steam-train before you really should partake!

*Important Notes: All the ragtime music for this video was provided by the unparalleled piano playing force that is Squeek Steele. Many of the pictures in the slide-shows were taken by Lady Cordelia Dashitall aka Nemea, Douglas Hack, and Laura Hack.

Thank you Objective2010! That is some GREAT information RE the docent. Sacramento Steampunk is really impressing us with the quantity and quality of events. Did you know there's going to be a Steampunk BALL at the historic Piper Opera house in Virginia City for this year's SteamTrain excursion?

Hello fellow rail-fan. I visited your website and am excited to see the Blu Ray DVD project once it is complete. Thanks for clarification regarding the gun firing tourist attraction.

This was such a great trip that we are doing it again this year the third weekend in September. When I called to reserve the train, I was told that the docent with the guns at the start of the video was so thrilled by our visit, that he made himself a fully steampunk outfit and is looking forward to us coming back (as are the rest of the train docents). For more info see the Sacramento Steampunk Events on Facebook.

Very cool, we heard you all were coming! Just to be clear, I'm not with the V&T or government commission.

The guy with the gun at the beginning is sort of standard with tourist railroads, even if there's not a big history of train robberies on the V&T. Thanks for posting.
