V&T Comstock Route Round Trip Diesel Train

Ride the Scenic Virginia & Truckee Railroad!

Narrated scenic train ride to Gold Hill and back. The 35 minute ride is 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. You may even see wild horses run alongside the tracks. The scenic Diesel Train runs daily 7 times a day. With the exception of the last 4pm train, you can depart the train, check out Gold Hill and return on a later train that day.... Read More
