Mr. Drew will trace the history of one of America’s richest short line railroads which operated between Reno, Carson City, and the Nevada Comstock Lode at Virginia City. After 80 years of operation, the last train ran on May 31, 1950. But in 1976, Orinda resident Robert C. Gray began bringing the Bonanza Railroad “back to life!”
Please join us as Mr. Drew brings his 35 years of expertise as Chief Curator of the California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento – one of America’s premier interpretive railroad museums.
