Railtown 1897 excursion train from Chinese Station |
| Description: |
Sierra Railway #28 was built by Baldwin Locomotive in 1922 for the Sierra Railway, and is wonderfully operating today on home rails. Sierra's steam locomotives (as well as it's Jamestown roundhouse and shops) survived due to the railroad's ability to rent them out to Hollywood film shoots (like Petticoat Junction). In 1982, they were sold to the State of California. This train will soon pick up a new load of passengers, and then make another run out to Chinese Station. |

ATSF 664 |
| Description: |
ATSF 664 was built in 1899 by Baldwin. It has 57" drivers and 21" x 28" cylinders, and it weighs 70 tons. Originally numbered #891, this oil-burning locomotive was used exclusively for freight in Texas, Oklahoma, and surrounding states. It was still in active use when it was donated to Travel Town by Santa Fe in 1953. In keeping with Santa Fe's class system, being the first unit of this class, it is one of 45 Class 664 Consolidations. |
