Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific Railroad
15th June 2019
Little has changed since the Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific Railroad (popularly known as the Beach Train) began operating in 1986.
Twice a day the heritage train returns from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk out to Felton, the home base of the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Railroad.
The railway is one of very few in the USA with extensive street running rails.
