The diesel locomotives that plow into the DeLorean a few moments later, actually do belong to the Ventura County Railway (and were painted/lettered for it in the movie).

DeLorean rolls thorugh the railroad crossing on Ventura Road in Port Hueneme (the "Eastwood Ravine Bridge" in the background is just a false facade). It is actually just a couple blocks away from the coast, where the tracks terminate at a large port facility. The tracks belong to the Ventura County Railway Company, a 10-mile shortline running between Oxnard, and Port Hueneme, California (in metro Los Angeles).

Everything in that scene after that shot was filmed on-location and in full-size. The only shot using scale models in the 1985 scene is at the very beginning-the overhead view of the completed bridge (rather extravagant too, woth towers and suspension cables!), as the DeLorean bursts into 1985 (which is being pulled across with a wire). When all of this footage was put together for the movie, the footage of the train running in reverse was reversed to make it appear as if it was actually moving forward, pushing the DeLorean. To aleiviate that risk, they secured the DeLorean to the front of the locomotive, and then filmed the train running in reverse-thus the train was actually pulling the car. Also interesting to note on the full-sized equipment, filmmakers feared running the steam locomotive forward could derail the DeLorean (and Michael J. In addition to using the full-sized steam locomotive, tender, and DeLorean for close-up and wide-angle shots, the filmmakers also used 1/4 scale models of the locomotive, tender, DeLorean, and unfinished trestle for other shots. The climactic 1885 railroad sequence in BTTF III was filmed on the Sierra Railway, in the vicinity of Jamestown and Sonora, in northern California. Among other equipment on display are the wooden passenger cars and caboose seen in BTTF III, as well (they were lettered for Central Pacific in the movie). It is currently being restored, and has thus been disassembled for the time being.

The locomotive is on display at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in Jamestown, California. The 4-6-0 locomotive was originally designed to run on coal, but was converted to an oil-burner in the early 1900s after being relocated to the Sierra Railway (and apparently in BTTF II, it appears to be disguised as a wood-burner). 3-originally built in 1891 by Rogers Locomotive Works of Patterson, New Jersey (renumbered No. It is ex-Prescott & Arizona Central Railroad Locomotive No.

The steam locomotive used for the 1885 scenes, has become a "movie star" over the decades through appearances in several movies and TV shows. Being a fan of the BTTF Trilogy, I've done extensive research on the trains used in BTTF III, including how and where the scenes were filmed.
