Welcome to the
Santa Clara River Valley Railroad Historical Society


The Next General Membership Meeting will be held on February 8, 2012

This Month's Meeting changed to February 15th!

SCRVRHS member Larry Jennings who is a volunteer member of the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in New Mexico and Colorado went to the Alder Gulch Railroad near Butte, in southwest Montana this last summer. He helped by painting signs and other projects in exchange for railroad car parts - trucks, brake cylinders and more, that were of no use to the Alder Gulch Railroad but would be of use to the Cumbres and Toltec.

Larry will present a program at the SCRVRHS meeting Wednesday February 8, 2012.

The meeting gets underway at 7:00pm.


Help SCRVRHS support the Fillmore & Western Railway and at the same time support our Railroad Visitor Center.

How you say? Well each year the local Ventura County Star newspaper conducts its Readers' Choice Awards to recognize and support local businesses. Since our Railroad Visitor Center and the F&W are closely linked and a great place to bring out of town guests, please complete the Star survey and vote for the Fillmore & Western Railway as your Favorite: Place to Take Visitors. You'll find this under the Entertainment catagory.

Log on to
Vcstar.com/readerschoice It will only take five minutes to complete.

Polls are open now through February 12th. Please pass this along to your friends to vote as well. Every vote counts!

Your support is appreciated!
