Howard --- nice pictures!
I bet that old ex MILW geep never encountered sand over the rails like that in it's first life! Looks like you got a cab ride. How is the 89 doing down there? The Mt. Hood RR had quite a time with 89, working all the bugs out and getting the dynamic brakes working.
I haven't been to Santa Cruz since I was a guest of Uncle Sam at Ft. Ord in the spring of 1964! I did enjoy the Monterey bay area the few times I was able to escape from Ft. Ord and do some sightseeing and railfanning. January and February were really miserable weather-wise but when spring came it was beautiful.
