Here’s a video shot by a new contributor, Justin the Conductor. We’re really excited to have him on the ground in Virginia City! I wasn’t expecting this so soon, wanted to get it out first ahead of the other announced videos. I’m working on the Reno Fundraising Special video next.
Justin caught up with the Reno as it was returning to Virginia City from the Great Western Steam Up, July 1-4, 2022 in Carson City, NV.
There is some great video in here showing how the 32-ton Reno gently glides off the truck trailer and onto the rails at the F Street crossing in Virginia City, NV.
The Reno is now back on display at the Depot while work is ongoing on the tender, back at the shop.
