Mike Woodruff	General	I'm about 99% certain that this is Virginia & Truckee #5 (second), an ex-Nevada Copper Belt standard gauge 2-8-0 built in 1925, and acquired by the V&T in 1946. The line was abandoned and the locomotive scrapped in 1950, so the photo would have been taken in the 1946-50 time frame.	4/16/2016 5:04:53 PM
