Carson City (film)

Carson City is a 1952 American Western film directed by Andre de Toth and starring Randolph Scott, Lucille Norman, and Raymond Massey.

The technique is to hold up the stagecoach and then provide food and champagne for the passengers, who then don’t care that the gold is robbed.

In the climax, Kincaid has to contend with a suspicious landslide which kills some of his workers, trapping others, and a gold bullion heist.

Though it is never mentioned by name, the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, which ran from Reno to Carson City, may have served as the inspiration for this story.

The railroad as a whole was built to serve the silver mines of Nevada, primarily Virginia City's Comstock Lode.
