Did you ever wave to the man in the window of the caboose (Crummy in railroad lingo) as a slow freight rolled through, and wonder what it might be like riding the rails in his seat?
Are you, your children, or grandchildren, too young to remember freight trains with cabooses, but are still curious about this railroad icon which, for over 150 years, was an institution of American railroading?
Come join the fun, hosted by the Santa Clara River Valley Railroad Historical Society and sponsored by the Fillmore & Western Railway Co., as we clickity clack along the rails of the historic Southern Pacific Santa Paula Branch, back to the past.
You will experience this railroad line from a unique perspective, take a turn seated in the cupola, gain firsthand knowledge of the many uses and functions of this universally recognized fixture from railroad lore, and get a taste for the trainmans life and duties aboard his rolling office/home away from home.
With your five dollar donation to the Santa Clara River Valley Railroad Historical Society, for each ticketed passenger, you can step back in time for this very different railroad experience. You may choose either a one way westbound (Fillmore to Santa Paula), or eastbound journey (Santa Paula to Fillmore). Your donations will be accepted by the ticket agent at the time you check in for your Fillmore & Western Railway adventure. At last, you can fulfill a childhood fantasy, spark new interest in a young rail fan, or just enjoy the ride from this unique vantage point.
