Ride into the past aboard Nevada’s scenic and historic Virginia & Truckee Railroad from Virginia City to Gold Hill and back. By far the most famous of all American short lines, the ornate V&T trains hosted U.S. presidents and foreign dignitaries in their heyday. The V and T R.R., completed in 1869, also hauled millions of dollars in gold and silver ore from the mines of the Comstock. Today, the railroad operates 100-year-old steam engines and heritage diesel locomotives, departing from the original 1870 depot at 166 F Street. The conductor-narrated excursions roll by some of the most famous mines and ruins. You may even see wild horses run alongside the tracks. 

Adult fares are $15 & $8 for children.

Please check in at WILL CALL inside the 1850's Virginia City Depot at least 10 minutes before departure time with your printed or phone receipt to pick up boarding passes. We reserve the right to sell your seats if you don't check-in 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure time.
