On Aug. 15 the V&T Railroad took the first paying customers from Carson City to Virginia City, a trip that hasn't happened since 1938. While I know there were a lot of people who thought it would never happen, the train is a reality.
And coming from a family who loves riding steam trains, this trip was like a storybook adventure. We did expect some operational problems but we were really pleased to say that everything was handled with care and efficiency. And the community really turned out to see the V&T run. Nearly every dirt and paved road from Carson City to Virginia City held people anxious to record this historic event with their cameras. All I can say is job well done to those who kept on when no one thought it was possible.
