Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox station Fillmore station is a former train station in Fillmore, California. It was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1887 as a stop along its Coast Line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.[1] It served as a nucleus for development, with the town of Fillmore growing around the site. Passenger service ended in 1935, though the building continued to be used for freight operations until 1974.[2]

Facing destruction after falling out of use, Edith Jarrett Roderick purchased the building for $1.05 in March 1974 and had it moved across Main Street where it was turned into a museum.[2] It was listed as a Ventura County Historic Landmarks & Points of Interest in 1979.[3] The 1994 Northridge earthquake caused extensive damage to the building, necessitating repairs which lasted into 1995.[4]

The Fillmore and Western Railway used the former station site as a stop for excursion tours starting in 1995.[5] The turntable was installed in 2011 after it was purchased from the Canadian National Railway.[6]
