Margaret,
Thank you. So far Iowa Pacific has hired 80 Santa Cruz residents for the Train to Christmas Town along with spending significant amounts of money on advertizing and track rehabilitation. They have been a boost to the local economy and their growth will mean more jobs for Santa Cruz County.
BTW, the Caltrain official is the Chief Engineer for Track & Structures. He said he was there to see Ed Ellis.
