Located in Jamestown, California, Railtown 1897 State Historic Park is home to one of America’s last authentic, operating railroad roundhouses. Known as “The Movie Railroad,” Railtown’s locomotives and cars have appeared in over 200 film and TV productions, including High Noon, Back to the Future III, and Petticoat Junction.
The Park is open for winter hours Tuesday through Sunday 10 am to 3 pm. Our experiencesd guides are available to lead visitors on tours of our operating steam roundhouse, where maintenance activities are conducted as they have been for over a century. Visitors get a close up look at our historic locomotives and gain insight into the challenges of maintaining industrial age equipment in a modern world.
