See evidence of the V&T train route from Carson City to Reno, and how to properly drink craft beer!

Thank you for another great video. I'm a retired historical archaeologist who has walked and documented (before the new railroad was built) the entire V&T right of way between VC and Moundhouse and I appreciate your efforts to keep history alive.

I have always had a love of trains. Mostly know the railroads on the eastern side of the country. Saw your video. Enjoyed it so much

Awesome venture, appreciated. Excellent, eye into craft beer demonstration too. "I'm with you"

Enjoyed this, very informative. I can appreciate the tremendous human efforts to create the line back then. Wonderful views there as well. Cheers!

Great Video!!! Thank You!!! From an Old Railfan...

The juxtaposition with original photos is very well done.

i appreciate the amount of work and creativity that went into this !!

beautiful. glad you guys finally made it out of winter up there.

the historical context photos for Washoe Canyon are amazing! really brings it to life. sometimes it's hard to imagine what was there if we don't have something current to compare it to. thanks!

Another education, thanks very much for that...The train station downtown, the final stop, housed the Reno Turf Club for many years..While working at the Turf when trains would go by back then in the 70's and 80's (pre tunnel) that building would vibrate. Good Easter ending spent with your boy,,,Thanks again.

So interesting!

I Love the V&T railroad and I'm from Indiana

Lived for 3 years north of Reno and visited Carson City and Virginia City many times. It's a beautiful place and we were sad to leave but we have many great memories living there. I knew the railroad ran through there but never had the chance to follow the old grades. Thanks for sharing! It's very interesting. You were talking about the grades some of these old locomotives had to climb. Go for a ride on the Cumbres and Toltec Narrow Gauge Railroad formerly part of the San Juan Division of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. The grade out of Chama New Mexico has a maximum grade of 4%. The narrow gauge (3 ft) lines were used in the mountains because they were cheaper to build and maintain and they could handle steeper grades than the standard-gauge railroad locomotives. Worth a visit if you get the chance!

I've known for some time, the route the train took, but I've never thought about hiking the part up to Lakeview. You have peaked my curiosity, and I'm going to hike that as soon as the weather becomes better.

Outstanding living history tour! Might have to retrace some of these locations myself.

Great history lesson. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video and great cameo from Spencer! I’m on of those people who always complains about beer making me full, so I was glad to see there’s a remedy!

What a great video. Thanks for the education.

I grew up in Steamboat Springs and I was told a story by Dorthy Towne when I was a kid. Where the Steamboat Massage center is across the Steamboat Creek there stood a fancy hotel that served the V&T. When I was a kid in the 80's you could still find ruins of the place and there was a tree house in a big old tree next to it.

It is a crying shame the V&T line and ROW could not have been saved. It would be a marvelous ride from Reno to Virginia City through Carson City.
