The Gold Hill Depot is a railroad depot in Gold Hill, Nevada. It was built in 1872 to serve the Virginia and Truckee Railroad (V&T). A combination freight and passenger depot,[2] it stopped seeing use by the V&T in 1938 when the railroad ceased operations past Mound House. The depot is located on a flat tract of land near the top of Gold Hill. Immediately past the railroad crossing, Highway 342 goes up a couple of hairpin turns to make its final ascent into Virginia City. Passing the depot, the V&T line wrapped around the hill that Fort Homestead was built on, originally going through a tunnel on its climb to Virginia City.
The reconstructed V&T ran down to the restored depot starting in the late 1970s.[3] Once the reconstruction of the V&T down to Mound House and the extreme eastern edge of Carson City was completed,[when?] the V&T's steam trains run all the way down to the Eastgate Depot, running past Gold Hill. V&T's diesel trains and shorter steam excursions stop at the Gold Hill depot and turn around and head back up the hill to Virginia City.
