I met Al Smith when I worked at the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad in 1971. He was still President of Orchard Supply Hardware and volunteered at the Wildcat as one of the engineers. He was one of the nicest people I ever met. It's good to see that the RC & BT is still running this Christmas Train. When I worked at Roaring Camp, as a locomotive fireman, the SP was still running a sand train to Zayante. Neil Vodden and Charlie Hoyle were the engineers that I worked with and was taught by.

Oh wow, that’s awesome! It’s such a tragedy what happened to Al’s Swanton Pacific, but I’m glad Roaring Camp as well as the Billy Jones have survived the years.

Excellent video of the lights and sounds of the Santa Cruz Holiday Train and the cab ride inside!

This video is !00% Thank You very much for doing it. When I was passing through Santa Cruz I saw the street tracks and the classic old wig-wag signals. The tunnel was fenced and blocked. Figured it had all been abandoned. Never knew it was still actively being used for these trains. Really makes me want to get out there again and also to check out the Roaring Camp trains. Gotta say that the CF7 is one of the dorkiest looking loco mods that Santa Fe ever did. Too bad that they aren't using a classic F7 or an old end cab switcher. Just a die-hard railfan giving his biased opinion. LOL

Nice Video! And Merry Christmas! Would You Happen to know the model of Locomotive that is?

Thank you, and to you too! The locomotive is an ex-Santa Fe CF7, built in 1972. These locomotives were originally built as streamline F7s in the 50’s, but were later converted by the Santa Fe for switching purposes.

@@RedwoodCreekRailroad I thought it might have been one of those Santa Fe locos. The reason I asked was because I saw 2 of these (I think painted in a RJ Corman) sitting at the Catlettsburg Marathon Refinery plant in Kentucky. I think they were shunting cars.
