As we finish the first half of the Railtown 1897 excursion, we come to Rock Quarry, where rock was mined and delivered to the Sierra Railway/railroad for some 50-60 years.

We look through the most famous parts of Railtown, like the prop barn, which was built to hold Railtown's movie props form over the years. We see the cars in Railtown's roundhouse yard, including ex-Concord Naval Weapons Base #613, which has been the Sierra's back up diesel for most of the state park's history. Views: 46 |
