The '''Nevada State Railroad Museum''', located in [[Carson City, Nevada]], preserves the [[heritage railroad|railroad heritage]] of Nevada, including locomotives and cars of the famous [[Virginia and Truckee Railroad]]. Much of the museum equipment was obtained from various Hollywood studios, where they were used in movies and television. The museum is operated by the [[Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs]]. Opened in 1980, it was originally named the '''Virginia & Truckee Railroad Museum''', often shortened to '''V&T Railroad Museum''', but was renamed the Nevada State Railroad Museum in 1985.<ref name="PRN-1985Oct">{{cite magazine |title=Preservation [regular news column]: Name Change for V&T Museum |date=October 1985 |magazine=[[Pacific RailNews]] |page=31 |url=http://original.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/598/41905/october-1985-page-31 |issn=8750-8486}}</ref>
