SUNDAY: Railtown State Historic Park Celebrates 'Back to the Future Part III!'
Sunday, September 10th, 9:30am-5pm
Railtown State Historic Park will host an entire day of train excitement, as it relates to ‘Back to The Future Part III!’ *(Please see UPDATE at bottom.)
Sierra #3 is being wonderfully restored and we plan to climb aboard for a ride on this special train from the film.
The 10am Excursion will have a historic Pullman coach car, and the actual No. 7 caboose used in the film! EXTRA! A Train Robbery -er ‘Science Experiment’, is expected to happen, with Doc Brown and Marty McFly taking over the train. Passengers will have the option to disembark briefly to witness a photo run by of the finale as the train reaches the critical 88 mph and crashes through the ‘END OF TRACKS’ barrier!
Wait! There’s MORE!
The DeLorean time machine will be placed on the tracks with real train wheels just like in the film! Photo ops and rides in the DeLorean will be available with proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research!
Props and replicas will be on display, including Michael J. Fox’s on-set director’s chair!
Meet and greet locals who worked on the film, and take a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the round house by an knowledgeable docent.
The special stunt caboose used in the film will be available for photos, and you don’t have to jump from horseback to pose!
Tour ‘Clara’s Car’ used in ‘Back to the Future Part III’ and beautifully decorated by Universal studios for the film. Donate for a seat and photo beside Clara!
Congregate in the train station’s ‘Carriage Room’, (the actual meeting space where the film makers viewed dailies!) for presentations from Back to the Future alumni, featuring special guest: Dean Cundey, acclaimed Director of Photography from the trilogy.
Many never-before-seen photos and artifacts from production will be shared.
There will be multiple Back to the Future related photo opportunities, book signings, licensed collectibles, souvenir gifts and sites to see, in and around this State Park throughout the day.
We hope you join us in the Sonora region in Northern California for this Back to the Future Part III weekend. It’s a special place with delightful people and wonderful stories.
PRINT YOUR RECEIPT AND BRING IT WITH YOU!
-AND DON’T BE LATE! 9:30am BOARDING FOR THE TRAIN RIDE!
Note: As always, subject to change with little notice -but we’ll do our best!
UPDATE: Due to a required service inspection, the Sierra No. 3 will be replaced by the No. 1265 diesel locomotive at this year’s event.
