'''Travel Town Museum''' is a [[transport museum]] dedicated on December 14, 1952, and located in the northwest corner of [[Los Angeles, California|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 ==
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.<ref>[http://www.visionsoftravel.org/travel-town-museum-griffith-park-los-angeles/ Travel Town Museum at Griffith Park: Los Angeles.]</ref>

==Railway collection==
The [[railroad museum]] portion contains 43 full-scale railroad engines, cars and other rolling stock.

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.<ref name="display">Display board at the Travel Town Museum</ref>

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 [[roomette|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]].<ref name="display">Display board at the Travel Town Museum</ref>

The wooden [[Oahu Railway and Land Company|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.<ref name="display">Display board at the Travel Town Museum</ref> 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 [[rystal Springs and Southwestern Railway|Crystal Springs & Southwestern Railway]]. The fares were 20 cents for adults, 10 cents for children. The operation was discontinued in 1961.<ref>[http://www.laparks.org/traveltown/roster-caboose/oahu1 Travel Town: Freight Cars & Cabooses, Oahu Railway & Land Company, Caboose #C1.] Retrieved on 28 August 2017.</ref>

| #36 || Combination Car || || [[File:'Travel Town Museum' 21.jpg|125px]]  || [[Oahu Railway and Land Company|Oahu Railway & Land Company]] || {{Track gauge|3 ft}} || 
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 and Land Company|Oahu Railway & Land Shops]]. It had a weight of 11.5 tons and a length of 42 ft 10 in.<ref name="display">Display board at the Travel Town Museum</ref>

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 [[0-4-0T]] saddle tank steam locomotive #31 was built in 1921 for the City of Los Angeles Harbor Authority by the [[Davenport Locomotive Works]] of [[Davenport, Iowa]]. It was oil fired and and has a weight of 42,000 lbs. The boiler pressure was 192 psi, The tractive effort was 11,080 lbs, and it has 11" x 16" cylinders and 28½" drivers.
#31 was bought for the development of the Los Angeles Port of San Pedro, mainly on the island of [[Catalina]]. Its sister engine #32 is also exhibited in the Travel Town Museum, and another little saddle tank, #33. The locomotives hauled rock from a quarry to the shore of Catalina Island, but occasionally worked also on the main land. The construction of San Pedro Harbour commenced in 1899, and the area was annexed to Los Angeles in 1909. By the 1920s, it was the US West Coast's busiest seaport. and, in the early 1930s, a massive expansion was begun including constructing a two mile long outer breakwater and a smaller inner breakwater with docks for sea going vessels. The three engines continued in the development of the harbour until the early 1950s when dieselisation of the harbour motive power began. Destined for the scrap yard, #31 was identified as a candidate for the museum's collection and was donated by the Los Angeles Harbor Authority along with #32 in 1953.<ref name="rgusrail"/>

==Train excursions==
Tickets can be purchased to ride the Travel Town Railroad, a {{RailGauge|16in|lk=on}} gauge [[Ridable miniature railway|miniature railway]] for two circles around the museum grounds.<ref>[http://www.griffithparktrainrides.com/content/travel-town-railroad The Griffith Park Train Rides - Travel Town Railroad]</ref> 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 {{RailGauge|18.5in}} gauge Griffith Park & Southern Railroad<ref>[http://www.griffithparktrainrides.com/content/griffith-park--southern-railroad The Griffith Park Train Rides - Griffith Park & Southern Railroad]</ref> and the {{RailGauge|7.5in|lk=on}} 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 {{Track gauge|3ft|lk=on}} narrow gauge Crystal Springs & Southwestern Railroad starting in 1955, which utilized the museum's equipment acquired from the Oahu Railway and Land Company.<ref name="Broggie2014p197">{{Harvnb|Broggie|2014|p=197}}.</ref>
