V&T Railway*, located in Carson City, Nev., is a state funded, historical railroad that invites guests of any age to enjoy a journey into rich Nevada history while traveling through Nevada’s “wild west” Virginia Mountain Range. With reconstruction efforts beginning in the early 1990’s, the state set up a commission to rebuild the line, operating today as the Nevada Commission for the Reconstructio

n of the V&T Railway. Since inception, the Commission has restored 16-miles of track from Gold Hill into the Carson River Canyon, giving the railway the opportunity for more diverse trains. The rail continues to operate its regular season from May through mid-October, with fully narrated roundtrip train rides from Carson City to Virginia City offering scenic routes and historic sites. The train also features various special events including Toast of the Canyon wine trains and the wildly popular Polar Express.

The scenery on the V&T is hard to beat. But what most riders remember most is Dave. 🚂

Dave has become one of the most talked about parts of the V&T experience, known for his humor, his storytelling, and his ability to make 150 years of Nevada railroad history genuinely entertaining.

If you're riding with us this season, there's a good chance Dave will be on board. Reserve your seats at vtrailway.com.
