See evidence of the V&T train route from Carson City to Reno, and how to properly drink craft beer!

We take you on a historical tour of the old abandoned Virginia and Truckee railroad route from Carson City to Reno. While the V&T has been reconstructed between east Carson City and Virginia City, if you look closely, you can see the old 1872 railroad bed as it makes its way from the Carson City shops, over the Lakeview grade, through Washoe Valley and on into Reno. Living in Reno, Nevada is better when you know some of the backstory! Plus - a quick rundown of how to properly drink a craft beer! Cheers!
