The Virginia and Truckee Railroad was built to serve the silver mining communities of Nevada. At its height, the railroad's route ran from Reno south to Carson City, Nevada. In Carson City, the mainline split into two branches. One branch continued south to Minden, while the other branch traveled east to Virginia City. The first section constructed from Virginia City to Carson City was constructed commencing in 1869 to haul ore, lumber and supplies for the Comstock Lode
Today, the Virginia & Truckee Railroad Company operates as a heritage railroad, headquartered in Virginia City. The Virginia & Truckee Railroad owns and uses the service mark "Queen of the Short Lines." The V&T Railroad Company runs up to 7 trains per day, many in steam behind locomotive #29, from Virginia City from Memorial Day until the end of October each year.
The Nevada Commission for the Reconstruction of the V&T Railway is rebuilding the line from Gold Hill (connection with the current V&T Railroad) to Carson City, aiming for completion by 2012. The Commission acquired a 1914 2-8-2 steam locomotive, which is currently in storage in California.
Cars and locomotives from the original railroad are on display at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, at the Comstock History Center and on C Street in Virginia City and at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento.
