Less than an hour drive from downtown Los Angeles will bring you to the self-proclaimed “Train Town” of Fillmore, CA. The town features movie trains, passenger excursions and dinner trains. Three derelict steam locomotives and seven 19th Century passenger and freight cars were restored to create the Short Line division of trains for use in Hollywood movies. In the latter half of the 1980s, Short Line was used in over seventy feature films, television series and commercials. Today, operations have expanded from movie work and limited passenger trips to regularly-scheduled daytime passenger excursions and Saturday Night Dinner Trains. Train rides during holidays include a Fourth of July dinner train complete with a fireworks display and a Father’s Day lunch journey where you can treat dad to BBQ tri-tip on a vintage train ride through scenic “Heritage Valley.” Check out the website for more information on the different train rides available and more details on the Father’s Day excursion.
