caption_attribution_description: English: Travel Town Museum is a transport museum dedicated 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.
context_page_description: The Hetch Hetchy Railroad was a 68-mile standard gauge Class III railroad constructed by the City of San Francisco to support the construction and expansion of the O'Shaughnessy Dam across Hetch Hetchy Valley.
  Based in Groveland, the HHRR operated from 1917 to 1949. It primarily carried construction crews and materials, but also took excursion passengers, freight, and mail. The line extended from its western terminus at Hetch Hetchy Junction, topping out at Poopenaut Pass at 5,064 feet elevation, to its eastern terminus at about 3,800 feet elevation on the rim of the Hetch Hetchy Valley above the construction site.
  The mountainous terrain resulted in steep grades and extremely sharp curves, requiring trains to move slowly, at speeds of less than 8 miles per hour.
context_section_description: Hetch Hetchy Railroad #4 was built in 1920 by American Locomotive Company.  This 2-8-2 Mikado had cylinders with 20-inch (510 mm) bore and 28-inch (710 mm) stroke,  48-inch (1,200 mm) drivers, weighed 97 short tons (88 t) and was had an overall length of 79 feet 10 inches (24.33 m).  In 1924 when HHRR sold five engines, this one went to the Newaukum Valley Railroad in Washington where it was renumbered #1000.  In 1944 it was sold to the Santa Maria Valley Railroad, and in 1958 it was donated to the Travel Town museum in Los Angeles, California.
