NNG - V&T 4-4-0 No. 11 "Reno" Update
| August 24, 2021 06:05PM |
Hi everyone,
This post isn't a narrow gauge-related one, but it does involve preserving a historic steam locomotive. Specifically, the Virginia & Truckee Railroad's 1872 4-4-0 No. 11 "Reno" and all the burnt-out rolling stock is heading back to their home state of Nevada via a yet-to-be-identified buyer. This recent development is very incredibly exciting news for V&T fans. Attached is an image of the move from Hollywood's Railroads' Facebook page.
