The Mojave Muleskinners traveled to Virginia City,
Nevada to participate in filming a commercial for Enfuego Productions directed
by Tony Ritter. Luziana Liz, Lucky Sumtyms, Rufus T, Capt. Ball, White Horse,
Man Who Fears, Pepper and Smilin Jack got to spend the weekend riding the
train and enjoying the sites that Virginia City has to offer. In the time
between the early 1860īs through the 1890īs, Virginia City was one of the
largest and most sophisticated cities in the west.
The Virginia & Truckee Railroad is by far the most famous of all American
short lines. In its hey-day, as many as 45 trains a day arrived and departed
Virginia City hauling millions of dollars in gold and silver ore from the
Comstock.
