Built in the 1870s to access the silver mines of Nevada’s legendary Comstock Lode, the V & T was once one of the world’s richest railroads, but by the late 1940s it was living on borrowed time, even if made famous by author Lucius Beebe. Shown here are films taken by three different photographers, one being Otto Perry, of the line’s final years and the last train. By then all the lines collection of old-timers had been sold to film studios and, apart from a short glimpse of the ‘Inyo’ are not seem, most trains being handled by 2-8-0 No. 5, although one of the earlier 4-6-0s is also seen. As a slice of history this is good, albeit marginally repetitive, with 3 people concentrating on the same thing.
