[edit] Letter

I wrote to the V&T, and on Oct. 4, 2005 received this reply:

Lots of good things are happening, we have purchased a 1914 Baldwin locomotive, have filled the Overmand pit and laid the first rail since the 30's. We are now working on tunnel two. We hope to have the railway up and running by 2009-2010.

[edit] Todo

The Virginia and Truckee's locomotives and equipment appeared in numerous Westerns, since the V&T operated obsolete equipment into the cinema age. Need a good history of their appearances. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 21:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
