Yes,Until the line washed out in winter of 1940 bet Los Gatoes and Felton,It was abandoned bet. just south of Los Gatoes and just N/O Felton.Did not warant the big expense for the little bussiness they had.

------------------------------------------------------- > # 2 Suntan going in the hole at Felton just opposite Present day park All excellent pictures. Doesn't look like much of a train in that 2nd picture as the semaphores in the background are in the process of clearing. Maybe just a cab hop? Or possibly running around the train? Edited 1 time(s).
