Jeffrey Weeks, general manager of the Santa Cruz Monterey Bay Railway, said he anticipates expanding freight service, now concentrated in Watsonville, to North County. The railway company, which operates the annual Train to Christmas Town, also is considering other excursion and tourist train ventures, as well as regular passenger service.
