Visited the prop department during filming. They were set up in the Railtown 1897 Tri-Dam building. They had, if I remember correctly, five Delorean time machines. One was the 1950's version, one was a hover craft version that was being modified with train wheels, one was a regular time machine they had as backup, and one was split in half for close ups of the dash. The guys there were cool, and let me sit in the original version. Also, being constructed out of balsa wood in a corner was the full sized rail guard the train crashes through at the end of the film. I remember one of the guys mentioning they were getting ready to transport the 50's car out to Monument Valley for shooting. At the time I had no idea what they ware talking about. LOL I'm sure there were other things laying around that I missed, but being able to sit in a real Delorean time machine was just mind blowing.
Two of my high schools friends snuck onto the set when they weren't filming and ended up getting ticketed and tossed by the Sheriff's dept. for trespassing. A couple weeks later me and 3 other friends snuck out there while they were filming. Couldn't see much because we were hiding near the trees but a buddy climbed up a tree to get a better look and all he saw was somebody from the crew taking a dump near some bushes and the guy just pulled up his pants when he was finished. Went back a couple weeks later with a friend after they were done filming and actually snuck on the set. On the way to the set there was a Deloreon fitted with locomotive wheels. I snagged Mr. Fusion off the back. It was a Krupps coffee grinder with a funky base bondoed to it. I had it for years but I lost it in one of my many moves. My buddy snagged the Hill Valley sign you see @ 2:55 mark. It hung in his garage for years. I also grabbed a nice cast iron spitoon that was inside the bar and a yoke for a horse. The only thing I have left is the spitoon. We were nervous walking around there so we didn't load up too much. I don't think any security was there that night but you never know. Couldn't wait to see the movie when it came out and was a little disappointed when it did.
@@jntipton Hey there, i worked with a hollywood show, mtv ridiculousness season 18 episode 7, but how did you get copyright release/permission from Universal to use the intellectual property from the movie in between your clips
Hello, thank you for doing this. I think I recall watching your video in the past and I just came across this one on my RUclips feed… It’s awesome that you took the time to do this my father took my sister and I to see part two in November 1989, and then of course we went in May 1990 to see part three and it’s so cool to have this footage in for you to take the time in line the stuff up. Thank you very much. 👍🏽👍🏽
I remember I was a kid when I went to byte the ride! My mind was blown and i enjoyed every single second of it! Haven’t felt anything like it since . I’m sure it was the same for you too ! Thank you for uploading this .
Excellent job on this! Super cool you have real footage of the set! So many youtubers do this video and they are junk, but yours is the real deal! Glad i stumbled on this
What a lovely video, and what a treasure for you! Forgot what a slick movie BTTF3 is, love your T-shirts from the time ! I wonder if you still possess them hehe Rad ! Take care x
Good question! I definitely have a few from back in the day. BTTF3 was definitely a good one! Thanks for dropping in and taking the time to leave a comment. Appreciate you 🤝
I love seeing things that are now impossible to see, everyone has seen the first 2 movies locations over and over (there's even a cool video from the neighbour of martys house filming between takes) but finally something new and it's glorious. Thank you for sharing dude. I'm sure this will get a lot more views throughout the years as people find and share it. Subbed
@@artross7279 uuuuhhhh . . . This footage was filmed in 1990. It’s an archeological find that it exists because the set burned down decades ago. You get what you get from the technology of the time 🙄
6:43 the BTTF 3, it's bar and the barman was the inspiration for a scene in the 1990 video game 'Mad Dog McCree', the barman is dressed exactly the same, even with the same arm bands, and note the name "mad dog" as in mad dog tannen
I heard it burned down twice due to lightning and the train station and the one building where they loaded the DeLorean at was from High plains drifter
Oh man that was your video!? I watched that like a year ago and fan girled over it, very cool to see you in present day good back! Nevermind i just finished the video, I thought you went back?
This video… 🤯 like a time capsule. Incredible. In another timeline, imagine that set being something that people could visit as an attraction. Such a shame it all just turned to ash.
Здравствуйте! Подскажите где на карте находится железнодорожная станция этого городка и существует ли на самом деле это ответвление дороги, заканчивающейся пропастью? На карте нашёл только старую железную дорогу, начинающуюся из Соноры.
Its more then and then, not then an now, as you said, it doesnt exist anymore to take footage of today which is a shame. Would have been great to see it now in better quality footage. Thanks for posting. I wonder why they left the buildings but took down the signs like 'Sheriffs office' etc?
It’s right in the same vicinity there - if you stand near the train station you can see the rooftop of the school. Or, you could at the time before it burned down.
Exactly - it was . . . Since the set burner down many years ago this is best we could get. More of a then and then lol but sadly the set no longer exists. Thanks for dropping a comment and being a part of the channel.
@@dwaynethemineraljohnson412 Yeah, the lightning strikes the clock tower and the delorean in the Back to the Future movies and then strikes 1885 Hill Valley set for real!! Crazy!!
Would you mind sharing the location of this. I know it might be empty but just maybe getting to go and walk where this film was recorded would be awesome as I am a huge fan of the Back to The Future trilogy. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for sharing i love this trilogy but the whole they dont have gas thing bothered me because the dolorian still buried in the cave had plenty of gas they could've used 😂
I always thought of Doc's barn...I get the way that leaving all those removed roof slats makes for great dappled light that looks great in camera but Jesus.. he is always so screwed when it rains.
That would be amazing. At the time of this video all production had just moved out. Subsequent to this the entire set burned down in a wild fire I’m fold was started by lightning , , , kind of ironic given the clock tower and lightning etc
Jared, I am trying to find this exact location, I live near by but having a hell of a time find out what roads or what to take to get there, I dmed u on ig, help!!!!
That footage isnt only priceless its movie history. Very cool. Thanks for sharing
Very kind of you! Thank you for the comment - much appreciated!
Thank you so much for showing this.

Its so sad this was lost. I was in Sonora in May 2022. Fortunate to visit Railtown and see the park. Really would have enjoyed seeing the old set.🥴

use to drive past going camping and saw the train and trailers around and wondered what was going on at tje time
Yep exactly - and they had the billboards along 108 covered in camouflage during the months they filmed.
Thomas Wilson really stepped up in this film. I would say he was the star of the show
Definitely
the railroad station and bar were used in John Wayne moves chasm and the shortest
Doc could cold roll brass in 1800s, make refrigeration work, but couldn't make a gasoline substitute?
Badass!
its pretty sad to see the set abandoned like that
Definitely

The days when horses were like automobiles to ride around. I think the DeLorean was the only car there in the old west.
there were 2 DeLoreans in the old west, the one doc buried and the one Marty went back with
Wrong
@VincenzoBarbato you are correct so the no gas thing bugged me like just go get the gas from the dolorian doc buried for Marty to find in 1955
@@VincenzoBarbato that the same one doc buried, remember Marty was in 1955, him and doc got the buried DeLorean.

I always thought they only build that for the film and tore it down afterwards 🇬🇧
Yeah they kept this one up with plans to keep it as a western studio set until it burned down.

Then and then really if its been destroyed now
Exactly . . .
Where is Clara school and house filming location located? Always wanted to know that
It’s right in the same vicinity there - if you stand near the train station you can see the rooftop of the school. Or, you could at the time before it burned down.
@@jntipton thank you! I hope its still there.they were also built for the movie?
@@and1424 yes built just for movie - unfortunately they burned with rest of set. Sad 😢
@@jntipton yes thats sad. Thank you
What are the GPS coordinates for this set?
37.8655548095703, -120.50121307373
The 'now' part looks like it was filmed a long time ago using an old camera.
Exactly - it was . . . Since the set burner down many years ago this is best we could get. More of a then and then lol but sadly the set no longer exists. Thanks for dropping a comment and being a part of the channel.
So sad its not around anymore.
Was it a bush fire that destroyed it in late 1990?
Nicely filmed by the way.
Thank you! Yes exactly - started by lightening strike and swept through fast. Obviously those wood structures were like fast fuel for the fire.
@@jntipton a lighting strike seems kind of ironnic for back to the future
@@dwaynethemineraljohnson412 lol!! You’re right!
@@dwaynethemineraljohnson412 Yeah, the lightning strikes the clock tower and the delorean in the Back to the Future movies and then strikes 1885 Hill Valley set for real!! Crazy!!
I'm sorry, but isn't this "then and 3 months later"? Its not considered "now" if you're showing footage from 1990. 🤷♂
Sure . . . But with a set that burned down it’s best we can do within my format of then and now. Hope you still enjoyed. Thanks 🙏🏻!!
No wayyyyy!
this set burnt down in 1996 by a grass fire
filmed in January and it was supposed to be September lol
Does the guy you filmed back then, know his younger self is on RUclips today??
How heavy is that?? That's heavy..😂
