LOCOMOTIVE NAMES We notice
that In the naming Of the locomotives
running OH the Virginia and rruckee
railroad the various counties and towns
OF this State and vicinity are hand
somely represented. Gold Hill, how
ever. seems to be Left out In the cold
In this respect. Even the last new
locomotive was named Dayton, that
maritime metropolis down OH the
banks Of the raging Carson, the claims
of Gold Hill being again totally
ignored. Will this be ever thus.
