Rides 7 times a day, 7 days a week

Help Us Celebrate Our 50th Anniversary This Year!
Honoring the Generations Who've Kept the Journey Alive
We began service on July 2, 1976, at the height of the United States Bicentennial— reviving a historic railroad just as the nation celebrated its 200th birthday. Nearly 50 years later, as America hits its 250th anniversary, the Virginia & Truckee Railroad continues that spirit of preservation, celebration, and discovery. Each season, we invite guests to step back in time and experience the landscapes, stories, and traditions that helped shape the American West. Today, we proudly offer a full schedule of themed trains throughout the year, along with regular daily service from May through October. As we celebrate both our own 50th anniversary and this milestone moment in our nation's history, we thank you for being part of our journey.
