The RTC is working on a community-wide celebration event in anticipation of becoming the owner of the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line. Activities planned include a main event in Santa Cruz, with a train making whistle stops in Watsonville, Capitola, and Live Oak. Local community representatives will assist with celebration activities at all stops, and staff is coordinating with them to make arrangements for music, refreshments and other activities. Staff is also working with the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay Railway (SC&MB) to provide preview train trips for the public, free of charge, which will travel up the coast from the West Santa Cruz event site at the Swift Street Courtyard. It was also reported that Congressman Sam Farr is scheduled to participate in the celebration event. A ‘Save the Date’ notice will be sent out shortly.
