Sierra Northern Railway has taken over freight operations from Union Pacific on the Santa Cruz Industrial Lead between Watsonville and Davenport. They use an ex-Santa Fe low-nose GP20u for the job, and I caught it between Aptos and Watsonville.

  • Very cool! My best friend lives two blocks from the trestle in Aptos.

  • @nickgeorge25: I liked the neighborhood.

  • 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.

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

  • @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.

  • Nice!! Ive seen this loco in santa cruz before!!!

  • def my favorite diesel i like the f-3's back in the day but this looks tough and isnt too long

  • 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.

  • nice video

  • 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
