Here's a look at the Santa Cruz and Permanente Locals in its better days under Southern Pacific rule. I suppose all we'll have of both of these cement hauling branches are photos if the current service levels keep up.
SSW 7648 leads the "Santa Cruz Local" through a light rain at La Selva Beach, California in January of 1996.
Same day at La Selva Beach looking towards Aptos.
SP 7943 departs the yard at San Jose, California framed by the College Park stop in January 1996 with the Permanente Local.
The Permanente Local carefully treads the light rail of the Vasona Branch at Blue Hills, which is located in Saratoga, California.
