[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Limitedclear FWRY does not currently move freight. They maintain the line all the way to Montalvo. Operations are Santa Paula east. UP runs freight including the lumber you saw as far as Santa Paula. LC [/quote] Does the management not want to bother with freight or when they leased the line from SP (or did they buy it) did the did SP that they will handle the freight? If by some miracle Sunkist did start shipping from any of the packing houses in Fillmore or Piru who would handle this? MP57313, were those flatcars the CRLE flatcars? When I rode on the train they had four of them stacked (two stacks of two) behind a nursery (plants, not children), there were two (I think) in Fillmore and one in Piru. [/quote] F&W has the capacity to handle freight through an affiliated company. Thew line is owned by the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) that purchased the line from SP. SP handled the freight to Santa Paula until UP took over. Freight beyond Santa Paula would be handled by F&W. LC
