Trains Planes & Automobiles | Nevada City Train This old train is permanently parked outside the Nevada City train station. The old mining camp of Nevada City started when gold was discovered nearby in 1863. Nevada City was comprised mostly of miners working several nearby mining districts. In the beginning, the mining district was part of the Idaho Territory. In fact, until neighboring Virginia City became the Montana territorial capitol in 1865, there was no law except for the miner’s court. Now, although this old west town has no residents, it’s maintained by folks in Virginia city. It’s a cool place to visit in Montana.
