I was watching Tale of Wells Fargo the other night and one scene was shot behind the Sierra Railroad roundhouse. This is from a 1957 episode.
The Sierra Railroad roundhouse is in the background. Jim Hardie (Dale Robertson) is talking to Belle Starr (Jeanne Cooper). Famous movie loco #3 is pulling the train.
(Some of you soap fans might recognize Jeanne as Mrs. Chancellor from The Young and the Restless.)
Feel like a Mogul.

Belle Starr died in 1889 and #3 was built in 1891 but it's Hollywood. ;D 
Feel like a Mogul.

Hi Terry, I believe I saw that same episode.  It was on about my bedtime and didn't stay
up to watch the entire episode though.

Do you remember a limited run series starring Tom Beringer (sp) called "The Peacemaker"?
It may have been just "Peacemaker" without "THE".  The opening scene of every episode showed
a Shay pulling into the station.  It's been a while but it could've been ten or twenty years
ago.

I remember the Peacemaker. That was a good show. I don't rem the opening though, I;ll have to see if I can find it.

Found it on Youtube.  Search "Peacemakers".  Pilot episode at the 1:20 minute mark.
Wish I knew how to 'cut and paste' videos.

I see it. There are also bits of footage between about 50:42 and 58:50.
