V&T COMSTOCK ROUTE ROUND TRIP DIESEL TRAIN

Regular Daily Trains Return 5/24/25

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.
