That was terrific! The bus line LTR ran the scheduled service after they bought the route from the V&T. The V&T ran bus service during its declining years. I bid the route and ran it for 5 years in the 70’s. We did not use Geiger Grade, we went up the back way through Carson City, Silver City, & Gold Hill. Eventually using the truck route, when the bus was a 47 passenger unit. The stop in Virginia City was the Delta Saloon, and I was there for 45 minutes. Parked next to the Bucket of Blood, and the horse drawn hearse. Many people don’t know that Roos Atkins had a store on C street, and sold Levi’s. 100 years later, you could still read the name on the building.
Marvelous video of a terrific layout. As usual, you’re editing and sound abilities are world class. We are friends on Facebook. Keep up the great work.
Amazing layout. I used to live in Carson City and I've been up to VC many times. I was fortunate enough to manage the Gold Hill to American Flat project for NDOT that rebuilt the line over the Overman pit. Those scenes are instantly recognizable. Takes me back.
Beautiful layout. Nice history included. The burnt down building directly beside the firehouse is humorous. I live in Gold Hill in NC. One of the first places in the United States that gold was discovered.
