Capital Public Radio's Jeffrey Callison today included a discussion of the restoration of Sierra Railway 3, 4-6-0 (Rogers 4493 / 1891), originally Prescott & Arizona Central Railway 3. This locomotive is currently under repair at the Sierra Railway, Jamestown, California. Sierra Railway 3 has been featured in many Hollywood films and TV shows, including, "Petticoat Junction."
Sierra Railway 3 was last operated in May, 1996. Special steam operated trains, including steam double-headers, are planned for the date when Sierra Railway 3 will be re-commissioned, planned for spring, 2010.
