Looks like the big plans for rebuilding the V&T back down to Carson City are back in the news (I first read of it in 1961). Too bad they weren't around with so much enthusiasm to save the CC shops, which should have been the centerpiece of the whole project. Also, on same page of link, see V&T's 44-tonner.

On the subject of the CC shops: About the time they were razed, Nevada had a preservation law in process that might have saved them. Was this law ever passed? What are the details of it?

More interesting discussion on the V&T revival on Altamont Press discussion board. Note one post mentions a bridge made from the Virginia City and Carson City turntables... Anyone have photos of this bridge?
