"The Iron Horse" is an American Western television series that appeared on ABC from 1966 to 1968. It featured Dale Robertson as fictional gambler-turned-railroad baron Ben Calhoun. Costars included Gary Collins, Robert Random and Ellen Burstyn.

ynopsis

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 obstacles that were ever-present.

Much of the external footage involving trains was shot on the historic Sierra Railroad in and around Jamestown, California and Sonora, California, and the filming was produced by Screen Gems.

In its first season, "The Iron Horse" outdistanced part of its competition on CBS-TV, "Run, Buddy, Run" starring Jack Sheldon, which was canceled after sixteen segments but later captured interest from Baby Boomers on the Internet.
