VT 4-4-0 #11 - Virginia & Truckee |
| Description: |
This loco, nicknames "The Reno", was built by Baldwin in May of 1872 and was the oldest loco on the Virginia & Truckee roster. The loco was purchased by MGM Studios in 1945 for use in movies. In 1970 while MGM was shedding properties and props, the loco was sold to the Old Tucson Studios where it was on display. Jim Lockart photographed it here on one of his trips out West. Since then the loco was purchased by the new V&T tourist line and was moved back to Virginia City, NV. This was the first time since 1938 that it appeared here. Inoperable, it is now a display at the Virginia City Depot with plans to restore it to operation. We can only hope! |

V&T 11 |
| Description: |
Virginia and Truckee 11, a Baldwin 4-4-0, is on display in Tucson. This area, known as Old Tucson, was the filing site of countless western movies. Reno itself was filmed in several movies, TV shows, and commercials here, including the movies Union Pacific, Little House On The Prairie, and dozens of others. The unit was damaged in a fire in 1995, but has since been restored. The engine was built in 1872, and was the oldest of the 8 Baldwins that ran on the line. The unidentified boxcar appears to be of a typical 1880s design. |
