35-Minute Round-Trip Train Ride from Virginia City to Gold Hill

Route Map | Our Brochure

All aboard into legend! Ride aboard one of the richest & most storied railroad lines in the world as you travel through over 150 years of history. Depart from the original 1870 depot where the boots of the likes of Julia Bulette, Mark Twain, and Ulysses S. Grant once trod and enjoy true tales of murder, riches, & bust.

What You’ll See

Descend from our historic 1870 Virginia City depot to the historic Gold Hill depot, the birthplace of the Comstock and “the flattest spot within 10 sq miles”. On your trip, you’ll pass through an original V&T tunnel, swing around the ghostly remains of another, and view icons of Virginia City and Gold Hill like the 1859 Gold Hill Hotel, the Chollar Mine, 4th Ward School, and the Mackay Mansion all while taking in some of the best scenery in Nevada.

You’ll pass by many of the Comstock mine sites including the Gould & Curry, Savage, Hale & Norcross, Potosi, Chollar, Julia, Ward Bullion, East Yellow Jacket, Crown Point, Kentuck, Yellow Jacket, Combination and the Foreman.

See Historic Gold Hill, Nevada!

Except for the last train of the day at 4pm, passengers can disembark in Gold Hill and visit the Gold Hill Hotel (NOTE: as of May, 2023, they are currently serving Breakfast on Sundays from 9 AM to 1 PM) You can then return on a later trip the same day.
