Trains Return to the Santa Cruz Branch

WATCH IN HD
On April 17th of 2015 trains returned to the Santa Cruz Branch for the first time in almost 2 1/2 years after multiple bridges were either rebuilt or replaced. The La Selva Bridge was completed on January 30, 2015 and was reopened for trains on February 26th. You can see our video of that event here • Santa Cruz and Montere... . The train was made up of Mount Hood Railway #89 as well as 4 empty tank cars that were used to test the track and grind down the rust so the crossing signals could then operate reliably. As you will see in this video the signals have not been used in a while so most of the crossings needed to be flagged. However on the way back some of the crossing signals began to work. It was truly great to see trains back on the branch and we look forward to all the future hold for the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay Ry. and the Santa Cruz Branch.
