Virginia City & Truckee Railroad

This was definitely Gannon's most anticipated day of the trip! We had researched this train ride last year and now that we would be in the area decided it was a "must do" for the trip! We woke up early to drive to Carson City to catch the train and you can tell by the pictures below that both boys were very excited.  The train is very old and we had a narrated ride to Virginia City.  Funny how a 8 mile drive can turn into an hour and half train ride through the mountains!  It was a very cool ride and we learned more about the mining that was done in the area long ago.  When we got to Virginia City we had a little over 3 hours to explore prior to the train ride back.
