The famous “Bonanza Road” of the Wild West, the Virginia & Truckee Railroad used these locomotives to haul the
rich silver ore of Nevada during the 1870s and 1880s.  Ordered from Philadelphia’s famed Baldwin Locomotive Works
and often operated double-headed, these engines pulled long trains of ore cars from the mines.
The engines were ordered in identical pairs but each pair has specific features which include a different tender,
driving wheels, cab, primary paint colors and other items.
