UPDATE OCTOBER 2022: Non-update. No updates.
One of these days, months or years, the first Ventura County Sonic Drive-In is anticipated to be built in Fillmore at the northwest corner of Orange Grove and Ventura Street (CA-126). In October 2018, The Fillmore Gazette mentioned it was slated to open in summer 2019. We shall see.
The Santa Clara River Valley Railroad Historical Society has announced at www.scrvrhs.com that it will not be hosting a 19th Annual Santa Clara River Valley "Railfest" event this Spring, primarily because of "the uncertain contractual relationship between the Fillmore & Western Railway and the Ventura County Transportation Commission, along with the related recent court decisions as published in the media."
The Society indicates that the Fillmore & Western Railway may undertake their own version of Railfest for 2014 and that it is in no way relinquishing our rights to the annual "Railfest Event." The Society is hopeful that by next year, VCTC and Fillmore & Western have an agreement in place for continued rail operations and that Railfest will be back.
UPDATE: CLOSED
Offering up "down home southern cooking," the Movie Train Cafe will be opening its doors on Friday, May 18th at 501 Santa Clara Street in Fillmore (previously occupied by the Double A Cafe). Restaurant is decorated with neat looking train movie prop decor!
