The South Pacific Coast Railroad 1880-1940
Presented by Brian Liddicoat
Attorney Brian Liddicoat will entertain us with a history of the old South Pacific Coast “Mountain Division” railroad line that once ran through the Santa Cruz Mountains from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz via Felton. Having hiked and uncovered the entire abandoned railroad right-of-way (with the poison oak and dog bites to prove it), Brian will take us through the story of the line’s amazing construction in the 1870s, its financial rise and fall and its closure in 1940. He will show us what remains of it now, including photographs of the great tunnels that once ran under Highway 17.
