From what I have been reading, Santa Cruz County is getting some bum info on its railroad line. What was it $465 million to start a commuter service??? What the hell are they quoting, full electrified double track?

Try starting small. Run a beach and town center shuttle from Wilder Ranch to La Selva using biofuel powered RDCs or Seimens Desiro cars. Even at 40 MPH, I will be you can generate some traffic, then build your way up.

Have a dinner train on the line. The excursions SC&MB ran got riders. Build on that.

If someone competent was running the line and had the resources and support, you could make something out of it and benefit the community.
