Apparently the engine, Sierra Railroad No. 3, was built by the Rogers Works in 1891 (though the film took place in 1885), and has been at the Sierra Railroad in northern California for some time. It and that tourist line, have been used in several Western movies and TV shows over the years, including Petticoat Junction in the '60s. But before it became a movie star engine, what railroad was that engine used for? When was it retired? <br />[/quote] the RR in Petticoat Jct was C&NW according to uncle joe who was movin kinda slow[8D] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />green acres is the place to be faarrrmm livin is lifr for me <br />land spreadin out so far and wide keep manhatten just give me that country side[:p][:p]
