The Big Creek yard in Watsonville is the distribution center for all of their locations.
Regarding the washout at milepost 5, there is no timeline for the repair or who will pay for it. It will be the farmer’s insurance, FEMA or Measure D funds. The RTC made an application for FEMA funds, but they have not heard back from FEMA. According to my commissioner, Trail Now contacted him a few days ago saying they reached out to FEMA and the requested funds to repair the storm damage to the rail line have been denied. I would think it would be inappropriate for FEMA to tell a county resident they denied funding before notifying the agency that requested the funds.
