At one time the tracks reached from Trona, CA to Carson City, NV although it was several different railroad companies. The Virginia and Truckee was one part of the network.

i used to visit my dad whilst he lived in bishop and seen the museum change over the years from just a rail museum to a heretage park. nice to see at least they have a railbus running for rides.

Visited that museum several years back. I was constantly ringing the bell every time I had the chance. XD Number 9 also seems to be in better shape than I remember.
