Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-
Photographed in Virginia City, Nevada

The original 1870 V&T R.R. Virginia City Depot is located at 165 F Street, just below Main Street at F Street and Washington Street.
In its heyday, the Virginia & Truckee Railroad hauled millions upon millions of dollars in gold and silver ore from the mines deep below Virginia City and the surrounding areas, running an impressive 45 trains per day for 74 years straight. One of the richest deposits of silver and gold ever found, known as the Big Bonanza and Comstock Lode.
The Virginia & Truckee was one of the most famous railways in the west, and visitors exploring Virginia City have the unique luxury of riding this storied line today. Located a short walk from Virginia City’s historic downtown, the V&T operates 100 year-old steam engines and heritage diesel locomotives from its original 1870 depot.
