A few pictures from RR Picture Archives by Marty Bernard, showing the most Steampunk-appropriate railway vehicle, the McKeen Motor Car. This example is painted in Virginia & Truckee markings:

And a fan video on the 100th anniversary of her arrival in Carson City:
I visited the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City for the Centennial Celebration of the V&T #22 McKeen Motor Car. The #22 was delivered to Virginia & Truckee Railroad in Carson City 100 years ago to this day.The restoration had been going on for about 10 years, and this is the official unveiling of the last and only running example.
H/T to John McCluskey for the links. Also, as “Robert the N.” pointed out, it’s only Steampunk in appearance as even back in 1911 it had a gasoline prime mover not a steam engine.
