Virginia & Truckee No. 27

Virginia & Truckee No. 27 is a 4-6-0 that sits on public display at the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
==History==
Built in 1913 Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Virginia & Truckee railroad. Although designed for freight service, #27 also hauled mixed consists and passenger trains until retired from service in 1948 with the expiration of its boiler permit.
It was then pulled out of retirement in 1950 for a month of service following the destruction of V&T #26 "Reno" in an engine house fire.
It double headed with #11 on the RLHS Virginia City-Gold Hill excursion in 1938, marking the end of operations on the line.
It moved to Carson City airport in 1963 and then, from 1971 until 1993, to Virginia City where it placed on static display at the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
