The Inyo

The granddaddy of them all, Virginia & Truckee Locomotive No. 22 was built in 1875, making it one of the oldest working steamers in the country. After a long career on the V&T, the Inyo took a star-studded retirement gig, appearing in 20 Hollywood films. See it in action every Independence Day Weekend!

The Glenbrook

Built in 1875, this “Mogul” type, narrow gauge Baldwin steam locomotive is a local hero. One of its stints included hauling lumber from the Lake Tahoe Basin up to Spooner Summit to help build Virginia City, before the Bliss family donated it to NSRMCC.

1910 MCKEEN MOTOR CAR #22

This impeccably restored and unusual self-propelled motor car is among the last of its kind, and the only one still in operation. It is one of few moving National Historic Landmarks, designated in 2012.

Roll the clock back to 1907 and explore this original gateway to the heritage of the Nevada Northern Railway. Operating within the oldest and bestpreserved building in White Pine County, it acts as steward, storyteller, and caretaker of the rail line’s treasured heritage.

Step into this wonderfully preserved time capsule and experience what it took to keep a railroad operating day and night, 365 days a year. Walk through the general offices of the railroad, including train dispatchers, crew chiefs, finance, medical, management and the company President. The Depot Museum is located on the 52-acre Nevada Northern Railway complex and works in cooperation with the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, which operates the railroad and maintains the rolling stock and tracks at this truly historic facility.
