Railtown 1897 State Historic Park, and its operating entity, the Sierra Railway, is known as "The Movie Railroad." Both entities are a heritage railway and are a unit of the California State Park System. 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 Company). The railway's Jamestown locomotive and rolling stock maintenance facilities are remarkably intact and continue to function much as they have for the last 100-plus years. The California State Railroad Museum (CSRM), headquartered in Old Sacramento, assumed responsibility for Railtown 1897 State Historic Park on July 1, 1992. The Sierra Railway served the West Side Lumber Company mill at Tuolumne. The West Side operated an extensive narrow gauge (36") logging railroad in the Sierras. It operated into the 1960's, and was the last of the narrow-gauge logging railways operating in the American West. Model T Ford motor car fitted with railway wheels
