Virginia and Truckee 11, a Baldwin 4-4-0, is on display in Tucson. This area, known as Old Tucson, was the filing site of countless western movies. Reno itself was filmed in several movies, TV shows, and commercials here, including the movies Union Pacific, Little House On The Prairie, and dozens of others. The unit was damaged in a fire in 1995, but has since been restored. The engine was built in 1872, and was the oldest of the 8 Baldwins that ran on the line. The unidentified boxcar appears to be of a typical 1880s design. |
