Drag to rotate the Inyo on its turntable.
The locomotive Inyo was built in 1875 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. It is one of the oldest original locomotives in North America still in operable condition. The pride of the collection at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, the Inyo is fired up for jaunts around the museum’s tracks generally twice each year. The locomotive was photographed at the museum, then composited into the foundation of the V&T turntable in Virginia City.
