Those who have seen this movie know that the time-traveling DeLorean car was mounted on rail wheels and pushed to 88 MPH by a steam engine. 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?
