I know where every single spot in this video was shot. This is the EX UP Santa Cruz Branch line. I used to live in Aptos, California along this Santa Cruz Branch line from 1985 till 2004 for nearly 20 years. I actually graduated from Aptos High School. I used to live on my great grandparents 23 acres of property down the road from Aptos High School. I have video on my youtube account that I shot of the UP Santa Cruz Local running on the Santa Cruz Branch Line.

Sierra Northern 48 was involved in a bad wreck a few months ago. saw pictures, was not pretty. buddy on yahoo group was on the train as conductor, but wasn't too badly injured.

SWEET COOL EMD GP20U

Very cool! You got street running, you paced it, you got a pick-up.. (What didn't you get?!)

Excellent!

not too often you see GP20's.  Nice video!

@mafarnz: This might have been the first time ever I've seen a GP20 in action outside a museum.

[ThomasRivette]

I heard their thinking about running dinner trains on that line.

[cchan006]

@ThomasRivette: I heard that, too, for tracks between Santa Cruz and Davenport. While scouting the area, I noticed that the scenery between Watsonville and Capitola is not too shabby either.

Wow! Ex-ATSF GP20u! Great to see vintage power still working!
