V&T 22, the "Inyo" is seen here on it's once-yearly steam up at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City.

V&T's #D1 90 Ton GE is backing downhill to Gold Hill with the train from Virginia City while 2-8-0 #29 waits at the depot with the train from Mound House

Filling in for their in-shop steam locos
