Two Adult Tickets for a Round Trip Steam Train Ride!

Travel back to the bonanza days on a shorter scenic ride. The conductor tells the story of Nevada’s late 19th century mining boom, when the V&T was built and Virginia City was the richest city on earth, with more millionaires than anywhere else.

Watch for exposed veins of silver ore and more, including:

• F Street Depot Car – Virginia City station, three blocks from downtown’s fascinating C Street, with free parking.
• Tunnel No. 4 – the last tunnel before Virginia City, one of five built for the 1600-ft. descent to the valley floor.
• Comstock mines – transporting silver and gold from the mother lode to the mills was the original purpose of the V&T Railroad. During the ride, you’ll pass by eight mines including Hale & Norcross, Savage, Potosi, Chollar, Julia, Yellow Jacket, Crown Point and the Ward Bullion.
• Gold Hill – rich in history, where the Comstock Era gold strikes began and the train depot was built at one of the few flat places in town.
