California’s Fillmore and Western-to Cease Operations
Brief, fair use quotes:
“… will officially cease operations June 30, 2021. The current operators, Dave and Tresa Wilkinson, are retiring from the tourist railroad business after more than 30 years.”
“… they aggressively went after the majority of the entertainment market by being inside The Movie Zone, a 30-mile radius from Hollywood, to be considered a local production for television, commercials, and movies.”
Ventura County, understanding the added value of the short line, is seeking a replacement operator.
