Railtown 1897 excursion train from Chinese Station         
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.
