I read some 2010 Monterey Bay assessment documents of trying to establish a railex facility somewhere to service Salinas, Watsonville, and Monterey Bay. Whatever happened with that? I suppose it probably would've killed all the branchlines in the area. Then it still doesn't really reduce local truck traffic to any degree. Not knowing what shippers really desire in the area, one could guess maybe there is a little potential for door to door reefer rail service in the area. If SC&MB can get the right cooperation with UPRR, sales task force, and continued fuel price increases...it sounds reasonable...there again, drunk logic.

My impression from reading various government and mass transit reports from the area, I get the sense there is a real desire for a cost effective transportation solution out of the area itself besides trucking everything to Delano.

Has any more info come of the former Monterey Branch? I just see that the acquisition of the line has been completed...would there be any room for a freight operator should the opportunity present itself?
