Where are ya Howard to come spew your propaganda about the illustrious SCMB?

They needed to repair those bridges and trestles between Manresa and Santa Cruz so they could scuttle all those tank cars back and forth between Watsonville and Pajaro.

If the railroad in question was the NWP and the year was 2006, this board would have treated this thread like a bunch of whining, temper tantrum throwing crybabies. This includes "experts" who actually worked for and/or ran railroads. I wonder how many of those same know-it-alls are all up the NWP 1501's a$$ conveniently forgetting how damn certain they were that the NWP was destined to rust and rot.

Laughing my a$$ off all the way to the metaphorical bank.
