Just found this:

By a 13-1 vote, the commission approved the contract for the operation of the 30-mile, county-owned former Southern Pacific branch, to be known as the Sierra Northern Railway Ventura County Division. The takeover date is set for December 26.

“We’re planning complete railroading services on the line,” says Sierra Northern president and CEO Kennan H. Beard III. “We will be bringing all the necessary freight and passenger rolling stock needed from our existing inventory of equipment. We have a complete set of passenger cars already on hand to be moved south and expect to be providing tourist and freight service, as well as catering to the entertainment industry when they need railroads and railroaders for their productions.”

Thanks for the info. Hopefully, they will off some time of scenic train excursions for the public.

Hello

Yes, the train stops at the halfway point, Santa Paula. You have about an hour for a quick look around. Be sure to check out the California Oil Museum, Santa Paula.

Have fun on the train

Glad you liked the post. If you have time take the Fillmore and Western Train through the Heritage Valley. The train trip takes you past miles of citrus groves. It really is like taking a trip back in time.

Thanks for visiting our website

I just read through the information you posted for a day trip in Santa Clarita taking the Highway 126. I can’t wait to check it out next week. I was in LA over 20 years ago and did the ‘stuff’ everyone does…movie star’s homes, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Blvd. blah blah blah. I was looking for something different to do that would capture the beauty of the west coast. While I will venture to LA to do the US Bank slide and Griffin Conservatory, I am especially looking forward to a day of wandering away from the crowds.

Thanks for your descriptions and directions.

Best,
