The The Gold Hill Historical Society was named the physical custodial agent for steam locomotive #8, owned by the Feather River Short Line Railroad. This locomotive was moved to the Gold Hill site in February, 2009 where it is being protected. It is stored on a lead track that connects with the existing Virginia and Truckee Railroad, with the intention of supporting operations of that railroad, and its extended reconstruction currently in progress, for special events and potentially as a backup in the event of mechanical failure of equipment owned by other parties. A more thorough treatment of the history of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad is available through the Virginia & Truckee Railroad Historic Society.
