School Field Trips on V&T Railway

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Trade the history books for the real deal with a field trip aboard V&T Railway. With a ticket to ride, your students can become fully immersed in the lives of the trailblazers of the American West and make real-world connections with the rich legacy of Nevada’s railway history. 

History Brought to Life

Spark curiosity with an educational excursion that transports students to a different era and makes the past feel real.

• Learn about Nevada’s history through stories of mining, transportation, and Westward Expansion. 
• Engage students with hands-on learning aboard a preserved train where they can see the inner workings, ask questions, and experience life on the rails firsthand.
• Bring learning full-circle with activities before or after the ride to help students connect with key curriculum themes.

Pair your trip with a visit to the Nevada State Railroad Museum just 15 minutes down the road for an even deeper dive into the state’s rail history and innovation.

Field Trip Planning Made Simple

From beginning to end, V&T Railway staff can provide guidance through the booking process, provide chaperone best practices, share safety protocols, and build an itinerary that works for your group. 

We can accommodate groups of various sizes and adapt the excursion to specific grade levels and curriculum topics. You handle the lesson plans — we’ll handle the field trip.
