This Friday, we take a non-narrated ride aboard the Fillmore and Western Railway from Fillmore, California to Santa Paula and return. We then follow one of the railroad's famed "Murder Mystery" trains as it departs Fillmore and heads west.
About the train:
It is called the “Movie Train”, known for the hundreds of film appearances it’s made over the last two decades. Located in the Heritage Valley northwest of Los Angeles, California, the Fillmore and Western Railway operates on a 17-mile long branch line between the towns of Fillmore and Santa Paula. In the past, trains were also operated on the 7-mile line from Fillmore eastward to Piru. Originally built during the early part of the last century by the Southern Pacific Railroad, the line was at one time part of the main railroad route between Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. Today, the tracks only run as far east as Piru, the rest of the rails having been ripped up several decades ago. To the west, the branch line ties in with the Union Pacific Railroad at Montalvo. Running almost every weekend year-round, the Fillmore and Western operates a wide variety of Weekend Scenic Excursions to Santa Paula as well as special event trains.
