Located in Jamestown, in the heart of California’s Gold Country about 100 miles southeast of Sacramento, Railtown 1897 State Historic Park is home to the historic Jamestown shops and Roundhouse and the Railtown 1897 Interpretive Center celebrating California’s industrial heritage and railroad history. California visitors can climb aboard a vintage steam-powered excursion train on the weekends on a 6 mile roundtrip ride through the scenic High Sierra foothills, in vintage passenger coaches pulled by an authentic steam locomotive. Railtown has long been a favorite film location for Hollywood and its historic locomotives and railroad cars have appeared in more than 200 films, television productions, and commercials.
