Mr. Darren Kettle, the Executive Director of the Ventura (California) Transportation Commission has proposed that the county no longer support use of the tracks between Montalvo and Piru ( and RoW Piru to Saugus) because of conmpeting needs for better bus transit service in the valley. This would have a devastating impact on the Fillmore & Western Raliway and could lead to its closure. Evidently, the plan is to replace the trackage with a bike trail.

I encourage any interested parties to contact the VCTC (http://www.goventura.org/?q=contact-us) and the F&W (http://www.fwry.com). (Sorry, I'm not savvy enough to insert links.)

BTW I support continuing operations on the RoW by the F&W, it's a well run business bringing many benefits to the valley.
