Where Dreams Meet History
The V&T was ending its life and Joe Elcano was beginning his. But the two stories do not end here. The railroad the young boy would walk down to see when he was one, would be revived by hi storians and train lovers. Forty years later, Joe would start collecting covers. One of his first was this last day cancel of the V&T. That sent him to the V&T Museum in Carson City with his son, Joey, to relive the past, celebrate the present, and ponder what the future may hold.
