USA RPPC postcard Comstock Lode silver ore train, Virginia City NV
Photo postcard of Virginia and Truckee Railroad ( V & T.R.R.) locomotive with ore cars from Comstock Lode silver mines, at Virginia City Nevada station.
Labeled in photo LR ‘VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA’
Later re-issue of early RPPC. ‘EKC’ photographic paper dates this to 1930-1950.
The Virginia and Truckee Railroad, when first constructed in the 19th century, it was a commercial freight railroad which was originally built to serve the Comstock Lode mining communities of northwestern Nevada.
At its height, the railroad's route ran from Reno south to the state capital at Carson City. In Carson City, the mainline split into two branches. One branch continued south to Minden, while the other branch traveled east to Virginia City. The first section from Virginia City to Carson City was constructed beginning in 1869 to haul ore, lumber and supplies for the Comstock Lode silver mines. The railroad was abandoned in 1950 after years of declining revenue
The Comstock Lode is a lode of silver ore located under the eastern slope of Mount Davidson, a peak in the Virginia Range in Virginia City, Nevada (then western Utah Territory), which was the first major discovery of silver ore in the United States.
After the discovery was made public in 1859, it sparked a silver rush of prospectors to the area, scrambling to stake their claims. The discovery caused considerable excitement in California and throughout the United States, the greatest since the California Gold Rush in 1849. Mining camps soon thrived in the vicinity, which became bustling commercial centers, including Virginia City and Gold Hill.
