Travel Town Museum is a transport museum dedicated on December 14, 1952, and located in the northwest corner of Los Angeles, California's Griffith Park. The history of railroad transportation in the western United States from 1880 to the 1930s is the primary focus of the museum's collection, with an emphasis on railroading in Southern California and the Los Angeles area.

History[edit]

In the late 1940s, Charley Atkins, a Recreation and Parks employee, and some rail enthusiasts had the idea that a full-size steam locomotive would be an attractive addition to the miniature railroad ride at Griffith Park. The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department had two small locomotives destined for scrap that seemed to be suitable for this purposse. With the support of former Recreation and Parks Department General Manager George Hjelte and Superintendent of Recreation William Frederickson, Atkins initiated contacts with major railroads in California to ask what equipment could donate. At that time, the steam locomotive era was drawing to a close, and Atkins found a good response. Travel Town was inaugurated on 14 December 1952. In 1965, Travel Town’s exhibits were re-grouped, and the park re-dedicated. Today, Travel Town is in a state of new growth and development.[1]

Railway collection[edit]

The railroad museum portion contains 43 full-scale railroad engines, cars and other rolling stock.

Number Description Build Date Photo Original Operator Gauge Notes
#1369 Heisler 1918



Hetch Hetchy Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)

The Heisler locomotive was used for hauling timber from the forest to the mill in the Mother Lode country. It was built by the Heisler Locomotive Works in 1918 and was the 369th locomotive built by them, so it was assigned shop number 1369. Heisler built a total of over 600 locomotives in various sizes. This geared locomotive weights 75 tons and all 12 wheels on the three trucks are driving wheels. The large parts that protrude diagonally fon the sides of the locomotive just in front of the cab are the pistons. The pistons operate a crank shaft which rotates two drive shafts that turn all 12 wheels. The locomotive was originally built for the Hetch Hetchy Railroad to haul material for building the dam that supplies drinking water to San Francisco. In the mid 1920s the locomotive was sold to the Standard Lumber Company of Sonora, California, which later became the Pickering Lumber Company. The locomotive stayed there until it was donated to Travel Town in 1952. It was donated by Pickering Lumber Co. Standard, California whil F.F. Momyer was their President. Its initial restauration was done as an Eagle Scout Service Project of Will Cosso and was completed on 25 June 2016 with the help of Arcadia Boy Scout Troop 111, Travel Town Volunteers, friend and family. Further restauration will continue.[2]

#2 Shay 1922



Little River Redwood Company Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) The oil fired 3-truck Shay with 12 geared wheels was built in 1922 by Lima Locomotive Works as #4 for the Little River Redwood Company Railroad in Crannell, California. The locomotive was sold in 1935 to the Camino, Placerville & Lake Tahoe Railroad and renumbered #2. It was used on an eight mile line owned by the Michigan-California Lumber Company. It was primarily a lumber-hauling line, carrying milled timber from the company's planing mill in Camino in the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of Sacramento to a connection with the Placerville Branch of the Southern Pacific at Placerville, California. It has a weight of 166,500 lb. The drivers are 36 inch in diameter and the cylinders are 12" x 15". It operated at 200 psi boiler pressure and delivered a tractive effort of 30,350 lbs.[3]
#4439 Switcher 1918 Union Pacific 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) The 0-6-0 switcher #4439 was one of 45 oil-fired S-5 class built for Union Pacific by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1918. It was used in Cheyenne, Wyoming and later on the Los Angeles Harbor Belt line, until it was decommissioned due to an order of the Air Pollution Control Board in 1957. It was the last steam engine to work regularly in the Los Angeles region. It has a weight of 156,000 lbs and operated at 180 psi boiler pressure. I had a tractive effort of 24,680 lb. It has 51 inch drivers and 21" x 26" cylinders. It was donated by UP to the museum in 1957.[3]
#6636 Sleeping car Rose Bowl (previously Telegraph Hill) Union Pacific 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) The Union Pacific sleeping car #6636 Rose Bowl derailed in the night of 12 August 1939 during the 1939 City of San Francisco derailment, when the streamliner train City of San Francisco was approaching a bridge in Nevada at nearly 90 mph. Five passenger cars plunged into the river below the bridge, and three more down an embankment. Of the 13 cars in the train, all with fanciful names taken from San Francisco landmarks such as Knob Hill and Fisherman's Wharf five cars stayed on their wheels, including this all-roomette sleeping car originally named Telegraph Hill. On that night, 24 people died and 121 were injured. This car was re-named Rose Bowl after repairs and was then placed on the City of Los Angeles train. It is the original Telegraph Hill, a survivor of what stands as one of the most famous unsolved train accidents. Although found to be sabotage in a railroad hearing, no saboteurs were identified, and track conditions have always been questioned. The car was an 18 roomette built in 1937 by the Pullman Company. It had a weight of 20 tons, a length of 22 ft 6 in, and was traded in 1992 from the Railroads of Hawaii.[2]
Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)
#1544 Electra 1902 Pacifc Electric 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) Electric locomotive Electra built in 1902 in Sausalito by the North Shore Railroad. It was used during the cleanup after San Francisco's 1906 earthquake and fire. It was eventually purchased by the Pacific Electric Railroad and used as a work locomotive and switcher until 1952.[4]
#1543 Electric car 1911 Southern Pacific 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) Electric car #1543 built in 1911 for the Southern Pacific's East Bay electric lines. The Interurban Electric Railway discontinued the service in 1941, but the United States Maritime Commission reassigned this car and similar ones to the Pacific Electric for wartime service. They were called blimps because of their size. Part of the car was temporarily in red IER and PE colors, but one side is in the green livery of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority, which operated it after 1958.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
Wooden caboose 1881



Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) The wooden caboose was built in 1881. The transportation of this piece of equipment was donated to the children of Los Angeles by the Belyea Truck Company.[2]
3 ft (914 mm)
#1 Coach Oahu Railway & Land Company 3 ft (914 mm)

The wooden Oahu Railway & Land Company Coach # 1 is completely paneled in mahogany and originally had ornate detail-work painted on the ceiling. The original seats were most likely plain, wooden benches, since the car was used principally for carrying passengers on short trips between the towns of Hawaii. The exterior was originally decorated with detailed scroll painting. The car had an early-design water closet with a 15 inch diameter hole cut into the floor board. Over the hole a funnel-shaped metal tube with a 10 inch opening at the top was placced, with a round seat on it, also made from metal.[2] The rolling stock from Hawaiian railroads at Travel Town was donated through the efforts of the local chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society, who made all the initial contacts in Hawaii in 1953. Beginning in 1955, the Oahu Railway and Land Company Locomotive #85 pulled Combination Car #36 and Coach #1 on excursion rides right on the tracks of Travel Town. The track paralleled the route along which the Ventura Freeway would be constructed 10 years later called the Crystal Springs & Southwestern Railway. The fares were 20 cents for adults, 10 cents for children. The operation was discontinued in 1961.[5]

#36 Combination Car Oahu Railway & Land Company 3 ft (914 mm)

A combination car carried passengers in one section and baggage, mail or both. It was commonly used on branch lines. Combination cars were usually on the head-end of a train the with the baggage and mail section towards the locomotive tender, to prevent security problems of people passing through the baggage or mail area, if the wante to rach the seating area. Generally the seating in a combination car was second class, and was not as nicely furnished as a regular coach on the same train. Thus, it was often used as a smoking section and became often the exclusive domain of men, as women rarely smoked in public before World War II. In certain states combination cars served those passengers, who were not allowed to travel in the main cars due to the Jim Crow laws, by which segregation was implemented against people of color or those of lower socioeconomic classes. The car was build by the Oahu Railway & Land Shops. It had a weight of 11.5 tons and a length of 42 ft 10 in.[2]

American 1864 Western Pacific Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)

The 4-4-0 (American) locomotive was built in 1864 for the original Western Pacific Railroad. It was taken over by the Central Pacific Railroad in 1869, which used it until 1914, when it went to the short line of Stockton, Terminal and Eastern. ST&E operated Number 1 until 1953.[4]

It worked for 45 years on the Western Pacific and was one of the last Alco Consolidations in use at the railroad. It was donated by the Western Pacific to the "Children of Los Angeles" in 1954. It is classified as a C-43 and has a legth of 69 ft 10 in long. The engine weighs 203,000 lbs and the tender 157,000. It has 20" x 30" cylinders and 57" drivers. With a 200 sq ft firebox, a 33.6 sq ft grate area and 2,292 sq ft of heating surface (including 733 sq ft superheating), it had a boiler pressure of 200 psi, delivering 43,300 lbs tractive effort.[3]

4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)
#664 Consolidation 1899 AT&SF 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)

The 2-8-0 (Consolidation) type steam locomotive was is one of 45 built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1899 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The original number was #891, but it was renumbered #664 in 1900. In 1910, it was loaned to the Pecos & Northern Texas Railway for 12 months, but then returned to the AT&SF. It was used for freight trains on AT&SF's Northern, Southern, Panhandle, Plains and Gulf Divisions, and was still in active service, before it was donated to the museum in 1953. It has a weight of 161,500 lbs. Its cylinders are 21" x 28", the drivers are 57 inch and it is equipped with Stephenson valve gear. It has an oil burner with a 143 sq ft firebox, 29 sq ft grate and 1,790 sq ft of heating surface, and operated at a boiler pressure of 180 psi, delivering tractive effort of 33,100 lbs. The 98,000 lb tender held 9 tons of oil and 5,000 gallons of water.[3]

#1 EMD diesel-electric switcher 1942 Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)

The 42-ton, 300 hp diesel-electric switcher #1 is one of three built by EMD in 1942 for the United States Navy. Eleven of these locomotives were built between 1940 and 1943. It hauled coal and supplies at the US Navy's Torpedo Station on Goat Island, Rhode Island as well as at the North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, California. In 1962, it was moved to the McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft Corporation's Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant at Torrance, California, where it was used for additional 25 years. In March 1988, McDonnell-Douglas donated it to the Travel Town Museum and was used there as a switcher. It got the name "Charley Atkins" after the founder of the museum. It is unusual that two diesel engines are used to drive the electric DC generator from both sides, one with clockwise rotation and the other anticlockwise.[3]

#56 Baldwin diesel locomotive 1955 McCloud River Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) California Western Railroad #56, which was built by Baldwin in 1955 for the McCloud River Railroad.

Electric car 1890s Four-wheeled electric car from Los Angeles built in the 1890s.
#21 San Francisco Municipal Railway c.a. 1880

San Francisco cable car system 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) This San Francisco cable car is an example of an early in-town passenger car, called a California car, with some interior space inside a compartment and other benches open to the weather. This type of exposure was not practical in most areas of the United States apart from California. n 1952, even before Travel Town formally opened, founder Charly Atkins asked the Mayor of San Francisco for a cable car to display, but was told, with an apology, that cable cars could not be sold or given away. Three years later, a solution was found: A cable car was placed on loan as the centre piece of the 1953 International Flower Show in Los Angeles. Afterwards, it was moved on permanent loan to Trafel Town.[2]
#12 Railway Post Office ca. 1880 Southern Pacific 3 ft (914 mm) The wooden narrow-gaute 19th-century Southern Pacific Railway Post Office Car #12 was used for a variety of purposes by its owners as a caboose, baggage car, railway postal car and most notably as a baggage-mail combination. It was built around 1880 by Carter Brothers and had a weight of 13 tons and a length of 43 ft. It was donated to the Travel Town Museum by Southern Pacific Railroad.[2]

#1273 Switcher 1921 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) The 0-6-0 locomotives #1273 is one of thirty-two 0-6-0 locomotives built by the Southern Pacific at its Sacramento workshops. Six more were built at the railroad's Los Angeles work shops. It was built in 1921. Classified as an S-12, it worked as a switcher in SP's Sacramento yards during its career. It was oil fired. Its weight is 153,000 lbs and it has 20" x 26" cylinders and 51 inch diameter drivers. With a 30 sq ft grate and total heating surface of 1,250 sq ft, including 255 sq ft superheating, it had a boiler pressure of 200 psi and tractive effort of 31,020 lbs. It was decomissioned in 1956, after it had logged over 1,500,000 miles during 35 years of service. The following year, it was donated to the Travel World Museum by Southern Pacific.[3]
#1000 Mikado 1920

Hetch Hetchy Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)

The 2-8-2 (Mikado) type steam locomotive was built in 1920 by Alco as #4 for the Hetch Hetchy Railroad. It was used on its 68 mile long line, which was built by the City of San Francisco to construct the O'Shaughnessy Dam on the Tuolumne River in Hetch Hetchy Valley, Yosemite, California. In 1924, it was sold to the Newaukum Valley Railroad, a line owned and operated by the Carlisle Lumber Company in Washington state, and was re-numbered #1000. The symmetric axle configuration of its 2-8-2 wheel arrangement permitted easy bi-directional operation, making it particularly suited for logging. In 1944, it was sold to the Santa Maria Valley Railroad, which served oil refineries in Santa Maria, Calicornia, as well as hauling produce to the Southern Pacific's mainline at Guadalupe, California. The Santa Maria Valley Railroad donated the locomotive to the Travel Town Museum in 1954, when it introduced diesel locomotives. The locomotive is oil fired, has a weight of 195,000 lbs and had a boiler pressure of 180 psi, delivering total tractive effort of 35,700 lbs. It has 48 inch drivers, and the cylinders are 20" x 28".[3]

#3025 Atlantic 1904

Railroad 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm)

The 4-4-2 (Atlantic) type steam locomotive #3025 is one of 13 built for the Southern Pacific by Alco in 1904 and was classified as A-3. Its very large 81 inch diameter drivers were designed for achieving high speeds of more than 100 mph. The oil fired locomotive has 20" x 28" cylinders with an inside Stephenson link motion and a boiler pressure of 210 psi. It delivered a tractive effort of 24,680 lbs. It was the first standard gauge locomotive to go on display at Travel Town in 1952 after being donated to the museum by the Southern Pacific.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

#163 Southern Pacific Stock Car

Railroad 3 ft (914 mm) The wooden narrow-gauge stock car was originally used by on the Carson & Colorado Railroad (C&C), incorporated in 1880. Southern Pacific acquired C&C's rolling stock in 1900, and in 1905 the railroad was reNevada and California Railway Company]]-organised under the name of Nevada & California Railway Company. It was used for the transportation of livestock and equipped with slatted sides and doors. [2]
#1 Southern Pacific Box Car Railroad 3 ft (914 mm) The wooden narrow-gauge box car was built by Carter Brothers in California on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. It ran through the desert of California and Nevada between Mina and Keeler. During negotiations for the initial right of way fo the Carson & Colorado Railroad (C&C) a stretc of the line was to be built across the Schurz Indian Reservation, and in an agreement the railroad supplied free transportation to the Schurz residents. Like many of the so called benefits wawarded to the members of the reservation, this complimentary transportation was not provided in the passenger cars, but rather atop of the coach or the box car, certainly not the accomodations given to paying customers.

Train excursions[edit]

Tickets can be purchased to ride the Travel Town Railroad, a 16 in (406 mm) gauge miniature railway for two circles around the museum grounds.[45] This railway originally ran a train known as the Melody Ranch Special, which was once owned by Gene Autry. Its namesake originates from the Gene Autry film Melody Ranch. The passenger coaches are now covered and the original steam engine (which was sabotaged beyond economical repair) has been replaced with Courage, a chain-driven internal combustion motor housed within a façade representing a steam locomotive. This railroad is one of three miniature railway train rides within Griffith Park. The others are the 18+1⁄2 in (470 mm) gauge Griffith Park & Southern Railroad[46] and the 7+1⁄2 in (190.5 mm) gauge miniature railway at the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum. The latter is independently operated.

The Travel Town Museum at one time also ran the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge Crystal Springs & Southwestern Railroad starting in 1955, which utilized the museum's equipment acquired from the Oahu Railway and Land Company.[47]
