Take a trip back to the turn of the last century as we ride on a historic steam train in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Railtown 1897 is home to the historic Jamestown, CA Sierra Railway yard. We will ride behind one of the weekend steam excursions behind historic Sierra Rwy locomotive number 3. Sierra 3 was built in 1891 and is one of the oldest operating steam locomotives in California. Number 3 is also well known for appearing in hundreds of Hollywood films, TV shows, and commercials over the years

The Pere Marquette's whistle should be replaced by Sierra Railway No. 3 and Sierra Railway No. 3 whistle should be replaced by Pere Marquette.
So basically they swap and the whistles would fit alot more to the both of the trains.

Truly the #3 is the pride and joy of the Sierra Railroad during its movie making years, more so than any of her other sisters on the line. Sound like she's wearing a Rio Grande or Nathan 5 chime, which suits her perfectly.

This engine was in the 1963 to 1970 tv show Petticoat Junction. I would like to see this in person, especially if they paint it to look like the Hooterville Cannonball from the show. That would be something!

Rode that train as a kid from places like Chinese Camp, Oakdale and North through Sonora etc. Grandpa's place was off the highway right next to the tracks between Jimtown and Sonora. Brings tears to my eyes.

the little engine is both overrated and underrated, few realize its the only Rogers ten wheeler anywhere that runs even tho there were thousands of them at one point, shes a treasure.

Spent most of my life in that area. Even thirty years after I left, these videos make me homesick. No more beautiful place in the world than the Mother Lode in spring.

In the gift shop there should be a drawing on a board next to the doors of engine #3 which was drawn by me years ago. I hope it's still there. If you saw it.

Why Hasn-t The steam railroading institute Decided to put this particular kind whistle on PM #1225 during Christmas time?
-Also What kind of whistle is it? -

Great footage Mike and liked the way you edited the clips together to combine the train ride footage with the lineside footage - very skillful! Thanks. Ken

I reckon that they used a really detailed fiberglass model for the scene in Back To The Future lll, where the train barreled off the bridge
