The Virginia and Truckee Railroad (AAR reporting mark VT) was built to serve the silver mining communities of Nevada. At its height, the railroad's route ran from Reno south to Carson City, Nevada. In Carson City, the mainline split into two branches. One branch continued south to Minden, while the other branch traveled east to Virginia City.
Today, its operation is reduced to a tourist railway operating out of Virginia City; the railroad hopes to rebuild the mainline to Carson City. The railroad uses the nickname "Queen of the Short Lines".
