Nevada State Railroad Museum -- Virginia & Truckee History

In this video we see the #8 pulling three historical Virginia & Truckee cars. This is the fourth excerpt from my Living Steam HD video, at livingsteam.com.

The #8 is not from the V&T, but the cars are. #57 Wrecking car has been converted to pull passengers, the #10 passenger coach is an original V&T passenger car, and the Nevada Copper Belt caboose #3 was bought by the V&T in 1947 and renumbered as the #24. In the middle of this clip you'll see historic photos of the #57 and #24 as they were on the Virginia and Truckee until the end of the line in 1950.

Thanks for watching Living Steam!
