I found a late running "Santa Cruz Local" up near Davenport, California this afternoon. With a 3:00pm arrival it prolly wasn't a good idea to attempt a follow back of the train through the choking Santa Cruz traffic. When the local gets out at it's normal time of 2:00pm from Davenport, usually it's a breeze to follow the train back home. Wait till next time as they say!
The local makes its way past Bonny Doon Beach which is void of nudists on this drizzly day.
Arrival at Davenport as the conductor throws the switch to the coal spur.
