RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF
SANTA PAULA
BRANCH LINE RAILROAD TRACKS INTO SANTA CLARITA
FOR TOURISM USAGE BY THE FILLMORE AND WESTERN
RAILWAY
Community Development
City Council adopt a resolution in support of extending the Santa Paula Branch Line railroad
tracks into Santa Clarita for tourism usage by the Fillmore and Western Railway.
BACKGROUND
Per the direction of City Council, staff has coordinated with neighboring cities, including the City
of Fillmore and the City of Santa Paula, and drafted a resolution supporting the extension of the
Santa Paula Branch Line railroad tracks into Santa Clarita for tourism usage by the Fillmore and
Western Railway. This extension is estimated to include approximately fifteen miles of railroad
track depending on the final route.
There is currently a separate effort underway to extend rail service from Port Hueneme through
to Santa Clarita as well. That potential rail extension would likely involve the same physical
railroad tracks that this resolution refers to.
Staff will continue to pursue opportunities to extend the Santa Paula Branch Line into Santa
Clarita for tourism usage by the Fillmore and Western Railway and to coordinate with
neighboring cities, including the City of Fillmore and the City of Santa Paula, to partner in this
endeavor, unless directed otherwise by City Council.
Adopted: Pte. p -T7 9
