The Travel Town Museum is a free railroad museum on the northwest corner of Griffith Park in Los Angeles that opened on December 14, 1952. The focus of the collection is on rail vehicles from the western United States from 1880 to 1930, and especially those from California .

history

In the late 1940s, a park manager, Charley Atkins , and some railroad enthusiasts had the idea that a full-size locomotive would make a good addition to the existing park railroad at Griffith Park. At that time, the Port Authority of the City of Los Angeles owned two shunting locomotives that were intended for scrapping and that seemed suitable for this. With the help of the then General Manager of the Park Administration, George Hjelte, and Superintendent William Frederickson , Atkins contacted the major California railroad companies and asked if they could provide rolling stock for the exhibition. Since the steam age was just ending at that time, he received positive feedback.

Travel Town opened on December 14, 1952. In 1965 the exhibits were regrouped before the park reopened. Today, the Travel Town Museum's collection continues to grow and new buildings are being built. The collection includes 43 original rail vehicles.

Standard gauge steam locomotives

Heisler 1369 of the HHRR (1918)

Heisler 1369

The Heisler locomotive is from a forest railroad in the Mother Lode area of Mariposa County and Mariposa Counties. The geared locomotive was built in 1918 as the 369th of a total of over 600 locomotives from Heisler Locomotive Works and was therefore given the serial number 1369. It weighs 75 t and all six axles are driven by cardan shafts in the center of the vehicle, straight-toothed bevel gears and coupling rods within the bogies. The V-arrangement of the steam engine is installed standing in front of the fire box. The locomotive was originally used by the Hetch Hetchy Railroad (HHRR) to bring construction materials to the dam construction site for the drinking water supply of San Francisco . In the mid-1920s, the locomotive was sold to the Standard Lumber Company of Sonora, California , which was later renamed the Pickering Lumber Company . It stood there until it was donated to the Travel Town Museum in 1952 by its president, FF Momyer.

Passenger car 1 of the OR&L

Passenger car 1 of the OR&L

The wooden passenger carriage 1 of the Oahu Railway & Land Company is made entirely of mahogany panels and originally had very detailed ornaments painted on the ceiling. The benches were probably originally made of wood without upholstery, because the car was mainly used on the short distances between Hawaiian cities. The car already had a flush toilet, for which a hole with a diameter of 380 mm had been cut out of the floor. Above it was a funnel-shaped metal tube with an opening from above 250 mm, above which there was a round seat made of metal. The Hawaiian railroads in the Travel Town were given to the museum through the efforts of the local group, the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society, which had close ties with Hawaii in 1953. From 1955, the Oahu Railway & Land Company locomotive 85 pulled the passenger car 1 and the combined passenger, mail and baggage car 36 for excursions over the tracks of Travel Town. The tracks of the Crystal Springs & Southwestern Railway called railway were laid parallel to the route on which the Ventura Freeway was built 10 years later. The tickets were 20 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. Operations ceased in 1961.

It was normally set on the Zugspitze with the baggage and mail compartment facing the locomotive. This was to avoid theft, as the passengers did not have to enter the luggage compartment. Usually the combined cars only had second-class seats, they were less elegantly furnished than the other passenger cars. They were used almost exclusively by male passengers as smoking compartments, as women seldom smoked in public before the Second World War . In some states they were reserved for passengers who, because of Jim Crow laws, could not share a compartment with other passengers because of their skin color or social position. The car has a mass of 11.5 t and a length of 13 m.

Covered Freight Car 1 for the Carson and Colorado Railroad

The wooden box car was built by the Carter Brothers in Newark, California on the east coast of San Francisco Bay. It was deployed in the California and Nevada desert between Mina, Nevada and Keeler, California . Since a section of the route runs through the Schurz Indian reservation, its residents were offered free passenger transport during the negotiations on the right of way for the Carson & Colorado Railroad (C&C). However, the free places were not offered in the passenger cars, but on the roofs of the freight and passenger cars.

The around 1880 by John Hammond & Co. built San Francisco Cable Car with a track width of 914 mm (3 feet) is an example of an early inner-city rail vehicle in California style with some seating in an enclosed compartment and another in the open air. This design was not common outside of California because of the weather conditions there. It has two driver's cabs so that it doesn't have to be turned around on a turntable at the end of the route. Even before Travel Town officially opened, Charly Atkins asked the Mayor of San Francisco for a cable car for the exhibition, but was told with an apology that cable cars could not be sold or given away. A solution was found three years later: a cable car was loaned out as a central exhibit for the 1953 International Flower Show in Los Angeles . It was then transported to Travel Town on permanent loan.

Harvey House Exhibition

Harvey House Exhibition

Based on the success of Fred Harvey's first train station restaurant in Topeka , which opened in 1876 , the Santa Fe Railway signed a contract with him to operate more train station restaurants. By 1883, he operated 17 train station restaurants along the Santa Fe Main Line, where passengers could have a meal before continuing their journey. The term Harvey House has become synonymous with delicious food and good service. After dining cars were offered on the trains in the 1880s, the food in Bahnhofsgaststättein lost its appeal. Although most of the original Harvey Houses have now closed, they still exist at the Grand Canyon , where they are operated by the successor organization Xanterra Parks & Resorts .

Little General

A park railway with a gauge of 406 mm (16 inches ) circles the museum grounds. The tickets are valid for two rounds. The Melody Ranch Special train , once owned by Gene Autry , after whose film Melody Ranch the train was named, operated there. Nowadays the passenger cars are covered and the original steam locomotive, which was no longer economically repairable after an act of sabotage , was replaced by a diesel locomotive that looked like a steam locomotive called Courage . On the neighboring property there are two other park railways operated independently of the Travel Town Museum: The Griffith Park & ​​Southern Railroad with 18½ inch (470 mm) gauge and the and the park railroad of the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum with 7½ inches (190.5 mm ) Gauge.
