Railtown 1897 is located in Jamestown, California. The entire park preserves the historic core of the original Sierra Railway of California (later reincorporated as the Sierra Railroad). The railway's Jamestown locomotive and rolling stock maintenance facilities are remarkably intact and continue to function much as they have for over 100 years. In addition to seasonal steam and diesel-powered train rides, the Railtown experience includes tours of the locomotive roundhouse originally built in 1910, the machine shop, and related exhibits. Movie paraphernalia used in filming train sequences is on display. They are open daily (April-September, 9:30am-4:30pm; November-March, 10am-3pm). Parking is free. Pets are permitted on the grounds and on board the trains. Pets are required to keep their owners on a 6 foot leash at all times.
