The Nevada State Railroad Museum is offering rides on the historic Virginia & Truckee McKeen Motor Car! Approximately 150 of McKeen Motor Cars were built between 1905-1917 for various United States railroads. McKeen Motor Cars were built with a gas engine and were among the first pieces of railroad equipment to be designed aerodynamically. The Virginia & Truckee McKeen Motor Car is currently the only fully-restored and operable McKeen Motor Car in existence. Rides occur every 40 minutes from 10:00am until 2:00pm. Rides last approximately 25 minutes. Fares are $12 for ages 12 and over; $6 ages 4-11 and museum members; and FREE for ages 3 and under.
