My thoughts exactly. I can see EwePee imposing a hefty surcharge on the Santa Cruz branch, as Espee did on the upper end of the NWP. While their stated motive might be to avoid operating the line at a loss, we all know the real reason would be to chase away any traffic from a marginal line that the RR AND the locals want to do away with anyway. I can imagine the savings to the RR's property taxes as well, especially given Caliphonia's current financial mess.
