From 2012 through mid 2018 Iowa Pacific Holdings operated the former Southern Pacific Santa Cruz Branch as The Santa Cruz & Monterey Bay Railway. Throughout this time Iowa Pacific had various financial problems on the corporate level and finally in 2018 decided to walk away from the Santa Cruz Branch. Their equipment however was left behind due to Iowa Pacific's inability to pay Union Pacific to move it with the last pieces not leaving until over a year later in October of 2019. In September 2019 it was announced that Iowa Pacific had been placed in receivership, all of the old SC & MB equipment was placed up for sale along with many other Iowa Pacific engines and cars. The Santa Cruz Branch however lives on! After Iowa Pacific's Departure in 2018 Progressive Rail took over operations of the branch and has since increased revenue carloads on the branch by over 250 percent. This video chronicles the departure of all the SC & MB equipment.
