The Virginia & Truckee Railroad bega operation in 1869 and was built to serve the Comstock Lode mining communities of northwestern Nevada. At its height, the railroad's route ran from Reno, Nevada south to Carson City, Nevada. 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 railroad was abandoned in 1950 after years of declining revenue. Much of the rail infrastructure was pulled up and sold, along with the remaining locomotives and railcars. In the 1970s, with public interest in historic railroads on the rise, the old lines were rebuilt by private investors, with an eye towards re-opening the lines.

Today, the privately owned Virginia & Truckee Railroad Company operates as a heritage railroad, headquartered in Virginia City, Nevada. The Virginia & Truckee Railroad owns and uses the service mark "Queen of the Short Lines". The railroad runs up to 7 trains per day
