"Do it at once"

"Do it at once" was the order given to I. E. James by William Sharron to build the V & T Railroad.

Construction to Carson City was completed in November 1869. By November 1871, Reno was connected to Carson City thus establishing a shipping route from the Comstock to the Union Pacific. The V & T was to become known as "the richest railroad in the world."

On May 31, 1950 the V & T ceased operations.
