Swanton Pacific Railroad

The "Cal Poly" Swanton Pacific Historical Railroad Society is dedicated to those who:
• Are nuts about trains
• Have a love for history
• Like to be working on a fun project outdoors
• Want live steam maintenance or operating experience
• Have/Want machine shop, welding, or foundry experience

The railroad is located on the beautiful 1200-acre Swanton Pacific Ranch in Santa Cruz County. The rolling stock consists of three one-third scale Pacific-type steam locomotives built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition and a diesel switcher.

Come ride the train down to our Christmas Tree field, cut your own tree, put it on the train and bring it back to the station with you.
