Traveltown in Griffith Park - Gene Autry's Melody Ranch Railroad
Back to LA to see Charley Atkins' Traveltown in Griffith Park. And a look at Gene Autry's Melody Ranch Railroad. OOPS! In the video we say it was in the hills above Santa Monica however it was in Placerita Canyon in the hills above Santa Clarita.
From their web site:
In the late 1940s, Charley Atkins, a Recreation and Parks employee, along with a handful of rail enthusiast friends, had the idea that a steam locomotive would make an attractive addition at the Griffith Park miniature railroad ride. The original intention of the Museum was to be a railroad petting zoo, an opportunity for the children of Los Angeles to imagineer themselves as engineers. The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department had two little engines destined for scrap that seemed to fit the bill. The idea escalated as Atkins, with the enthusiastic support of former Recreation and Parks Department General Manager George Hjelte and Superintendent of Recreation William Frederickson, initiated contacts with major railroads in California to determine what equipment they might be willing to donate. At that time, the steam locomotive era was drawing to a close, and Atkins found a good response. Travel Town was dedicated on December 14, 1952. The concept of a combined transportation museum and recreation center blossomed, and wishes for donations were generously fulfilled. 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. Charley Atkins passed away in 1959, but he left Los Angeles a grand legacy at Travel Town.
In 1975 In the Gene Autry's Melody Ranch Railroad, an 16 inch live steam park railroad, was moved to Traveltown. Gene Autry also collected full sized steam locomotives at his movie ranch including Denver and Rio Grande K27 463 now operating on the Cumbers and Toltec Railroad. Autry's locomotive was later sold to The Whiskey River railroad in Wisconsin.
Gene Autry had plans near the end of his life to turn his movie ranch into a western museum where visitors could see relics of bygone days and watch movies being made. Autry's plans literally went up in smoke in 1962. His dream did finally come true, though, (sans watching movie production) in 1988 — in L.A.'s Griffith Park with the building of the Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park.

The Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles connects past with present through its impressive 600,000-artifact Native American collection—the second largest native collection in the United States. Cristian Hamilton, senior director of development at the Autry, shares how the museum’s shift to Blackbaud Altru® has increased its efficiency and turned more prospects into members. The integrated system in Blackbaud Altru has helped the Autry reach $42 million out of its $80-million five-year campaign.

The Virginian - 50th Anniversary - Meeting the Cast at the Gene Autry Museum in Los Angeles 2012
The cast of The Virginian were at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum on September 22, 2012 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the show, and we went to meet them and get autographs! I was very excited to meet them in person and talk to them. They were very nice and friendly. This has been a dream for me for so many years. James Drury, Roberta Shore, Gary Clarke, Clu Gulager, Randy Boone, Sara Lane, Don Quine, and Diane Roter were among the actors there. I wish Doug McClure, Lee J. Cobb, and many others had been there too.
