WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

Santa Cruz recently spent $20 million to purchase a similar rail line in order to preserve rail traffic and protect the ability to have an excursion railroad operating for years to come.  We are asking for your support in bringing awareness to the local governments that the only way to go is to leave the tracks for future generations to enjoy and create a mix use for this corridor.
