New exhibit at railroad museum

A new exhibit is being put in at the Nevada State Railroad Museum this weekend. The new exhibits feature railroad equipment and historical objects owned by the state of Nevada, including the locomotive Inyo, built in 1875 for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad; 110 historical photographs, many of them dating back to 1868; and more than 100 full-color illustrations and three-dimensional models, many of them made specifically for these exhibits.

Funding for these exhibits was allocated by the U.S. Department of Transportation under its grant program for the betterment of transportation museums.

Included will be several historical objects that have never before been on display at the Nevada State Railroad Museum, 2180 S. Carson St. For more information, call Teresa Moiola at 775-687-8623.
