The Iron Horse was a 1966-1968 United States television series that appeared on ABC. It featured Dale Robertson as fictional gambler-turned-railroad baron Ben Calhoun. Costars included Gary Collins, Robert Random and Ellen Burstyn.
The plot centered around Calhoun's poker game-win of the incomplete Buffalo Pass, Scalplock & Defiance Railroad and his wide-ranging attempts to finish the line despite odds that were ever-present.
Much of the external footage involving trains was shot on the historic Sierra Railroad in and around Jamestown and Sonora, California.
