I'm sure you know the purity of gold is given in karats (12kt = 50% purity, 24kt = 100% pure, etc).
If the watch is solid gold it will be marked (usually inside the case) 10kt , 12kt ,14kt , 18kt.
A gold-filled watch will have the letters GF after the karat mark.

How do you tell if a pocket watch is gold filled?
A gold filled American pocket watch case is typically marked 10 years, 20 years or 25 years under the back cover and sometimes under the dust cover. This was a warrantee offered by the watch companies. Anther way to test is to (*be carful) but very gently apply pressure on the back cover, if it is gold the will be some flex. Gold filled cases have a hard metal core that will not have much play.

What is the value of Elgin National Watch Co picket watch movement 8125779?
My understanding is that a 15 jewel watch is not an "official" railroad watch. Elgin was probably playing off the railroad theme. You did not give the size or if the watch is open face or hunting case. I am guessing that the watch is open face. Value depends largely on whether the watch case is solid gold or if it is gold filled. I am guessing gold filled on a 15 jewel. If the case says "warranted" it is most likely gold filled. A 20 year case is 10k gold filled and a 25 year case is 14k gold filled. What I have seen sell in antique malls is $100-200 for gold filled and $300-500 if solid gold. I am not an authority on pocket watches.

How much is a elgin 15 jewel pocket watch with a railroad picture engraved on the back and it still runs and the serial number is 10291386?
I am not an authority on pocket watches. Value depends largely on whether it has a gold case or a gold filled case. A 15-jewel watch is not officially a "railroad" watch. I think Elgin was probably playing off the railroad theme. Also, I would guess that a 15 jewel is probably gold filled. If the inside of the cased is marked "warranted" it is most likely gold filled. I think a 20 year case is 10k goldfilled and a 25 year case is 14k gold filled. You did not mention the size or if it is open face or a hunting case watch. What I have seen sell in antique malls is $100-200 if gold filled, $300-500 if solid gold. Hope this helps. Perhaps someone with more information will respond. Larry

Compare 20 micron thickness to gold filled?
The thickness of gold on a gold-filled watch varies, including on the same watch, as a gold-filled finish can vary in thickness. But generally, a gold-filled finish will be about 20-40 microns thick. A 20 micron gold-plate finish is a bit thinner than most filled-gold finishes but is more uniform. A 20 micron gold-plate finish will wear a long time and compares well with a gold-filled finish.
