Ventura County RR on South Oxnard Branch |
| Description: |
The Ventura County Railroad returns from working the South Oxnard Branch. The crew had worked the area near International Paper Hueneme Mill for quite a long time before heading back with these auto racks off the Diamond Branch. The location is about where I believe Round Mountain Junction once was. The stream on the right is the pretty "Oxnard Industrial Drain." |

"The Cruz" kicks up dust |
| Description: |
LRQ81-25, "The Cruz" aka the Santa Cruz Local kicks up some dust as it heads northwest on Walker Street. My plan had been to watch this train leave Watsonville Jct, and then casually beat it here, but I made a wrong turn and just managed to get to this spot seconds before. The buildings that line Walker Street are mainly agricultural cold storage centers and other assorted warehouses. |

The 'Garita is in the Slough |
| Description: |
The 'Garita's in the Slough! The Santa Margarita Turn crosses over the Elkhorn Slough in a blanket of fog. Amazingly, it was sunny and clear less than a mile from here, but as I drove into the Slough area, we were socked in with pea soup. Didn't slow the train down though, which had already hit track speed. This bridge's official name is the "Elkhorn Slough Railroad Bridge," of course. The GP15-1 comes from Missouri Pacific and was delivered to the MP in August of 1981. |
