Railtown 1897 Offers Two More Weekends of Popular “Harvest Haunt Express” Train Rides Special Train Rides Pulled by the Famous Sierra No. 3 on Saturdays
Jamestown, CA...California State Parks and Railtown 1897 State Historic Park (SHP) are proud to offer two final weekends of family-friendly “Harvest Haunt Express” train rides October 18-19 and October 25-26, 2014. Staffed by a “skeleton crew,” the popular train rides take place aboard an excursion train that departs on-the-hour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Saturdays, the excursion train will be pulled by Sierra No. 3 (the “Movie Star Locomotive”) and on Sundays by a vintage diesel ..
.locomotive. Each weekend is highlighted by a special theme – Princesses & Pirates on October 18-19 and Witches & Wizards on October 25-26. Park and train ride guests are encouraged to come dressed in themed costumes and free mini pumpkins will be provided to train ride ticket holders each weekend in October (while supplies last).
Located in the heart of California’s Gold Country, Railtown 1897 SHP combines railroad heritage, local history and the lure of Hollywood and is one of only two authentic and still-operating steam-era railroad roundhouse complexes in the entire country. The Park is home to the famous “Movie Star Locomotive” Sierra No. 3, which has an impressive history of starring in more than 200 high profile film and television productions such as “High Noon,” “Back to the Future 3” and “Petticoat Junction.”
Tickets for “Harvest Haunt Express” train rides (which include Park admission) are $15 adults, $8 youths ages 6-17, ages 5 and under are free. To make advance online reservations, visit www.railtown1897.org or call (209) 984-3953 for more information.
