The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, long considered a northern New Mexico jewel, is now a national historic landmark.
On Wednesday, federal Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced that the narrow gauge train that runs between Chama and Antonito, Colo., is among 26 newly designated historic landmarks.
“We’re excited,” said Randy Randall of Santa Fe, a member of the bi-state Cumbres & Toltec commission.
“We hope it really gives the train the authentication, if you will, that it deserves, and it’s going to make it, we think, easier to market to our customers,” said Randall. “And it will help, we’re hoping, to provide new sources of funding as we try to improve our equipment and facilities.”
The train is owned by New Mexico and Colorado.
Randall said persuading the federal government to give the train the historic landmark designation was “a six year or longer journey,” with the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad group leading the effort.
Also making the list this year was the San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo site, part of Jémez State Monument near Jémez Springs.
Randall said it has become much more difficult to achieve historic landmark status in recent years. “You really have to be able to document why your proposed asset is different than anything similar to it in the country,” he said.
The Interior Department, in a news release, said: “In terms of length, scale of operations, completeness, extensiveness of its steam operations, and state of preservation, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is one of the country’s best surviving examples of a narrow gauge system from the peak of American railroading, roughly 1870 to 1930.”
The Cumbres & Toltec formerly was known as the San Juan Extension of the old Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. The Interior Department said it is “one of only two functioning segments of the original 1,000-mile Denver & Rio Grande Railroad network, which was America’s largest, most ambitious, and most successful narrow gauge railroad.”
The train’s locomotives, cars, buildings, and its 64-mile narrow-gauge route all date from the Denver & Rio Grande days. The train chugs over the 10,015-foot-high Cumbres Pass, winds through tunnels and over trestles and snakes along the 800-foot-deep Toltec Gorge, past waterfalls, mountain forests and alpine meadows.
Of the San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo site, the Interior Department noted that it is “associated with the spread of Spanish control northward in New Spain into the present-day American Southwest from 1598 to about 1639, and is an early representation of the intersection of European and native cultures.”
The Interior Department’s announcement said that while there are 2,527 designated national historic landmarks across the country, it’s a “select” network — fewer than 3 percent of the properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places are also designated as historic landmarks.
Salazar said: “Each of these landmarks represents a thread in the great tapestry that tells the story of our beautiful land, our diverse culture and our nation’s rich heritage. The designation is the highest recognition bestowed by the executive branch of the federal government and reflects the national importance of the site to the American people.”
The program is administered by the National Park Service.

Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network
Have you been waiting for the “rail trail” or “coastal trail” project? Planning for a new multi-use bicycle and pedestrian trail network is in full swing.
Project Scope
The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) is currently planning for the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network (Trail Network). This project merges plans for a bicycle/pedestrian trail along the rail line – including coastal alignments and neighborhood spurs – into a connected network that will overlap and converge to provide safe and convenient route choices. The trail will serve transportation, recreation and interpretive uses for walkers, joggers, bicyclists, families, locals, and visitors.

Folsom Telegraph
Trail users at odds over historic track
Rails vs trails
By Penne Usher, Telegraph Correspondent
|
Once again the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors has backed a plan that could convert miles of train tracks to trails stretching from Shingle Springs to the west county line.
“Friends of El Dorado Trail are excited that county supervisors have supported the Shingle Plan with a second majority vote,” said trail-booster President Mike Kenison. “We look forward to the new joint-use section of the (Sacramento Placerville Transportation Corridor), and are very pleased that the train groups will finally have a home and track to call their own.”
He said for the time being the tracks will remain, however, in the future they may be pulled to accommodate a hiking and biking trail.
The trails group has been at odds with train enthusiasts for years over the use of the tracks that run from Folsom to Placerville.
Under the Shingle Plan Compromise, first adopted last year, an 18-mile stretch from Shingle Springs to Folsom would be a multi-use trail for hiking, biking and equestrian use.
The track from Shingle Springs to Placerville would remain for use by rail enthusiasts.
Neither side believes the other’s plan is financially feasible.
Kenison said “trains are a financial disaster.”
“They have a hard time making a go of it. They aren’t making money. These are hobbyists using an old line. They will have to update the track and the ties.”
He said preserving the track is preserving history, but it is not “economically significant.”
Building a trail system, free to the public, could bring revenue to the county. Kenison cited the roughly $40 million in economic benefits seen by the use of the American River Trail system.
“Take into account the trail users and what they purchase in the area and how often they spend money in the area.”
Folsom Mayor Kerri Howell stands on the side of the rail users.
“The trails people believe any train track out there is a bad thing,” she said. “As a civil engineer, I can estimate the cost (to construct a bike trail) at (roughly) $3.6 million for an 18-mile stretch.”
She said after pulling the rails and ties, the gravel base that remains would not be sufficient for walking or biking.
“The grade of rail bed does not qualify as a trail. It’s not good for walking or biking. It’s fairly good sized gravel,” she said.
Howell believes the tracks should remain and a trail system could be built alongside in an easement space.
“We’d love to have trails built within the easement,” she said. “(The trail proponents) claim to want to connect to Folsom trails. They think it costs almost nothing if they remove the rails.”
Biking trails in Folsom are built adjacent to existing track, she said.
Philip Rose heads up the Placerville and Sacramento Valley Railroad, a non-profit excursion line that has been running a one-car passenger train along a five mile stretch from Folsom.
Rose has said that he would like to extend his train service up the hill into the Placerville area.
“By the time they’ve pulled the track up and paid for prevailing wages, there won’t be much left,” he said in a previous interview. “And once they’re removed and the first winter comes, they’ll degrade and become unusable.”

All the trails I see and have been on in Folsom have a grade separation from the tracks. Look at the tracks and trails on Bidwell. There is a large drainage gulley that runs between them.

They’ve been workin’ on the railroad…

All aboard the El Dorado Western Railroad! Sunday, the community’s own railroad will be rolling up the line from the railroad park in El Dorado to Hagen’s Crossing and back.
Running on the first and third Sundays of the month between now and March 18, rides begin at noon and continue until 4 p.m. The El Dorado Western Railroad is operated by a foundation of the same name under the auspices of the El Dorado County Historical Museum.
Davey “Doc” Wiser, renowned stagecoach driver and 50-plus year railroad man, visited the Mountain Democrat Wednesday toting photos of the organization’s rolling stock, depot replica and a train under way pulling its caboose. The photos give graphic evidence of the progress made in creating a viable historical railroad experience between Shingle Springs and Diamond Springs.
Sunday’s rides will be on “speeder” cars in a train-like formation with a foundation volunteer manning each car.
“We’ve got a pot-bellied stove in the depot now and we’ll have one in the caboose soon,” Wiser said. “There will also be complimentary hot chocolate and cookies for everyone.”
The Sunday rides began Jan. 8 and have been a huge hit with local families, Wiser noted, adding, “It’s the oldest railroad line west of the Mississippi River” and “riding a piece of history is great family fun for all ages.”
The “Doc” explained that the foundation encourages a $5 donation for riders ages 9 and older; $3 for youngsters 3 to 8 and for train enthusiasts under 3, the ride is on the house.
The historical railroad park is in the town of El Dorado next to the Community Center on Oriental Street across from the Post Office. For information about the El Dorado Western Railroad Foundation, call 530-621-5865 or visit the eldoradowestern.blogspot.com Website.

EL DORADO LAFCO
LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION
AGENDA OF MARCH 28, 2007
REGULAR MEETING
TO: Ted Long, Chairman, and
Members of the El Dorado County Local Agency Formation
Commission
FROM: José C. Henríquez, Executive Officer
PREPARED BY: Erica Sanchez, Policy Analyst
AGENDA ITEM #8a1: Consider a response to a probable change in the
Sacramento County General Plan that may affect the
preservation of agriculture in El Dorado County
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission receive the following information relating to a failed proposal for a change in the Sacramento County General Plan that would have affected the preservation of agriculture in El Dorado County. Although the proposal has since been denied by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, the Commission may consider submitting a response to the Board opposing the urbanization of lands adjacent to the El Dorado-Sacramento county line.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION
Given LAFCO’s responsibility to preserve agricultural and open space resources and to encourage orderly growth within El Dorado County, LAFCO has a role in submitting comments to other governmental agencies contemplating changes which may impact these two aspects of the Commission’s mission.
BACKGROUND
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors considered and approved a proposal to open more than 20,000 acres of land to development in its new General Plan. The area included large parcels of agricultural land in the eastern portion of Sacramento County along Jackson Road and east of Grant Line Road. These parcels are within Sacramento County’s urban growth limit and are adjacent to areas already planned for growth with its current General Plan and in SACOG’s Blueprint. This action will not affect El Dorado County and is not an issue of concern to El Dorado LAFCO.
AGENDA ITEM #8a1 Page 2 of 3 March 28, 2007
Also under consideration, however, was a proposal to include in the Sacramento County General Plan an additional 3,400 acres of undeveloped land for future development along the Sacramento-El Dorado county line. These parcels are located south of White Rock Road between Scott Road and Latrobe Road. The implication is, if this area were to be considered for development by Sacramento County, the landowner would then be free to develop the area to the highest density allowed by the zoning. According to a Sacramento Bee article dated March 3, 2007 (Attachment A), a representative for Angelo Tsakopoulos (the landowner) cited development of jobs and housing in adjacent El Dorado County as a reason for Sacramento County to build on its side of the border. Prior to final Board consideration, at least one Sacramento County Supervisor stated he was under the impression that there were many plans submitted to the County of El Dorado to develop along the county border and therefore, Sacramento County should coordinate its development with these plans. However, as noted in the attached map (Attachment B), most of the 3,400 acres abut undeveloped land that is currently under Williamson Act contract. This area south of the Southern Pacific Railroad is used primarily for agricultural production and is not slated for growth by either the El Dorado County General Plan or the SACOG Blueprint. Development has occurred north of this area within the Carson Creek Specific Plan and the areas designated Research and Development and Industrial, however, all development and infrastructure ceases below the railroad tracks. LAFCO staff is not aware of any planned growth that is considered south of that point. In addition, the El Dorado County General Plan calls for the protection of grazing land and limits the minimum size of agricultural parcels to 40 acres. The twelve agricultural parcels in question range from 40 to 495 acres, with a median size of 201 acres. A General Plan workshop to discuss the matter was held March 14, 2007. Because the hearing occurred before this Commission was able to consider the matter at its March 28, 2007 meeting and take a formal position, LAFCO Executive Officer José Henríquez submitted a letter to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors outlining various concerns to the proposed addition (Attachment C). The letter was intended to highlight the above information so that it may be considered by the Board of Supervisors before making a final decision. After considering all information, including Mr. Henríquez’s letter and testimony from more than 100 local residents opposing the proposition, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to deny the proposal to include the additional 3,400 acres in the area to be studied for development. Despite this favorable ruling, staff recommends that the Commission submit a letter formally opposing the urbanization along the county line because opening these additional 3,400 acres up for development would likely cause an adverse affect in neighboring areas of El Dorado County. The El Dorado County General Plan does not plan for development in this portion of the county, and it is staff’s opinion that urban development across the county line would introduce growth-inducing effects. Currently there is no existing infrastructure in the southwest portion of the county and development of the area would first require roads, water and wastewater transmission lines as well as other services that are desired by residential and commercial development. The adjacent portion of land in the southeastern portion of the County is zoned agricultural and approximately 2,593 acres are currently under Williamson Act contract. Of these, approximately 1,102 acres are in a non-renewal status with contracts S:\LAFCO Commission Meetings\2007\07 MARCH 28\Item 8a1 Staff Memo (Change in Sac County General Plan).doc

scheduled to terminate in January of 2008. This expiration, along with the potentially incompatible land uses in Sacramento County, could encourage premature development of these agricultural lands and result in a loss of agricultural production.
