I just received the following from the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC). I watched the RTC meeting yesterday on TV and the commissioners viewed this event as an excellent use of the ROW and a boost to the local economy.

"March 21, 2013 Special Meeting Highlights

The RTC approved a request by the North American Railcar Operators Association (NARCOA) for a rail motorcar excursion on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line on May 4 and 5, 2013. The event will entail one round trip from Davenport to Watsonville each day. NARCOA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and safe, legal operation of railroad equipment historically used for maintenance of way, and organizes excursions for its members to operate their personal rail motorcars. Approximately 20 to 50 individual motorcars are expected to participate. The motorcars will operate similar to autos, stopping at each roadway until it is safe to cross. Santa Cruz & Monterey Bay Railway will also participate in the excursion and is supportive of the event."
