Railtown 1897 Train Rides Begin This Weekend & Wildflower Trains Upcoming
Jamestown, CA ... Railtown 1897 kicked off the first day of operations today with the public arriving early to attend the “Early Bird” program at 7 a.m. in the historic Roundhouse to watch as the crew lit the fire and prepared the locomotive for the day. The locomotive is started with the tossing of a burning rag into the firebox, then the crew works to fuel, lubricate and water the engine as the boiler is slowly brought up to temperature. Knowledgeable guides were on hand in the Roundhouse to narrate every step of the process. Then, spectators followed the puffing locomotive out into the yard and watch the turntable in operation as the crew moved the locomotive into place for fuel and water and then to the Depot. After Sierra No. 3 makes its spectacular season debut, the Great Mother Lode Brass and Reed Band provided live music and in the afternoon, behind-the-scenes tours of work being done. Throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday, many other special activities will be offered as well, including live music both days, tours of the Roundhouse and demonstrations of the historic belt-driven machine shop. Capacity is limited for tickets for the steam train excursion rides so visitors are encouraged to arrive early. All tickets include Park admission and are available online at www.railtown1897.org or in person on a first-come, first-served basis at the ticket window beginning at 10 a.m. on the days the trains are running. Excursion train ride tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for youths ages 6-17 and kids five and under are free.
With spring in full bloom, Railtown 1897 State Historic Park (SHP) is proud to provide guests with a unique opportunity to experience spring wildflowers from aboard a train pulled by the “Movie Star Locomotive” Sierra No. 3! While the Park is open daily, special Wildflower Train Rides are available on two Saturday afternoons -- April 12 & 19 -- and depart from the Railtown 1897 Depot promptly at 4:30 p.m. Prior to boarding the train, passengers will have the opportunity to learn about the wildflowers of California’s Sierra Nevada foothills. In addition, the Tuolumne County Master Gardeners will have a display at the Park on these special days with information about gardening with native plants.
Railtown 1897’s popular Wildflower Trains feature Interpretive Park Rangers from the nearby Bureau of Reclamation’s New Melones Lake, answering questions and pointing out flower groupings along the way. Wildflower Trains take guests on a six-mile, one-hour roundtrip ride through the scenic, rolling landscapes of California’s Gold Country. Along the way, trains encounter meadows and rolling hills, with such local flora as “meadowfoam,” “goldfields” and other colorful flowers typically in bloom. Train capacity is limited, and advance reservations are suggested. With some open air seating available, wildflower train tickets are available online now at www.railtown1897.org and cost $24 for adults, $10 for youth ages 6-17 and children five and under ride free.
