Hi Derek, I am building a replica of the SPCRR from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz and I would want to know if you had the grades and elevation gain between milepost. Thank you

really hope they reopen this route in the near future. All the infrastructure is there, just needs to be rebuilt, and when complete, would make getting from Santa Cruz to the bay area so much easier and would alleviate congestion from highway 17.

Many many thanks for the background stories behind Molino Timber Co. I really like the tiny Shay they used and modeled it twice in Hon30 and 7/8th scale.

Derek: To the best of you knowledge, is there any entitiy who possesses moving images of the SPC in operations across the mountain, through any of the four tunnels, etc. Let it be known that is my "Holy Grail" of all films. I really really need to know. Yours truly, Rick Helin, Film Archivist and digital transfer person for the California Pioneers of Santa Clara County.

Greetings Rick. I have never seen a single film of operations in the mountains at all, although a movie in the 1930s depicts some scenes along the route in the vicinity of Zayante Station and there are several home movies showing people at Big Trees and south beginning in the 1930s to the present. Considering the mountain route was completely converted to standard-gauge in 1909, I find it very unlikely that any film survives of the route prior to that time. Any official film that may have been recorded by Southern Pacific was probably lost in the 1906 San Francisco fires.

I currently live at the Brookdale fish hatchery site and am interested in knowing more about my property in regards to where the train came thru and where the station was. The old hatchery building was demolished and a small cabin was built on the site around 1934, we found this date in a concrete foundation of the cabin.

When l was young we looked at a house for sale in Brookdale,it was the old depot. That was about 1965. It should be still there.People still live there as far as l know. lf you're on clear creek go south to the lodge ,go left towards the river the house is on the left.

To the best of my knowledge, the Fish Hatchery never had a station. It may have had a shelter, but I suspect it was only a sign. For several years there was a spur there called Steen's Switch, but when the hatchery was put in, the spur seems to have disappeared. Regarding maps of the area, you can check the Santa Cruz GIS website here: gis.santacruzcounty.us/gisweb/. Type in your address and then go to Recorded Maps & Docs. There's nothing that interesting for you under Recorded Maps, but several items under Non-Recorded Maps. The right-of-way was Old River Lane. I think you'll especially like map A70-007 and A03-026.
