California - Santa Cruz, Big Trees and Pacific

California - SPCRR Home
Ardenwood, CA - In 1880 the SPCRR was the South Pacific Coast Railroad, a narrow-gauge railroad that steamed south across the marshes and farms of Alameda and Santa Clara Counties, then wound through the mountains and forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains until it reached the ocean at Santa Cruz.
Today the SPCRR is the Society for the Preservation of Carter Railroad Resources, a railroad museum located in Ardenwood Historic Farm Regional Park in Fremont, California close to the Carter Shops in Newark.
The SPCRR restores equipment representative of those bygone days. Our collection contains 13 cars from the 1870s and 1880s. Most of the cars were built by the Carter Brothers in Newark. We are actively restoring 3 cars and have four cars in service. We have 1-1/2 miles of track and operate a recreation of the original SPCRRs Centerville Branch at Ardenwood. We use draft horses to pull a 1885 North Pacific Coast RR flatcar set up as a picnic car on scheduled runs through farm fields and Eucalyptus groves.

California - The Centerville Depot
Centerville, CA - The inspiration to preserve the historic depot began with Fremont's petition to bring Amtrak service to Centerville in 1991. The petition worked. On June 4, 1993, Fremont welcomed the return of passenger trains to the Centerville station after an absence of 53 years. In December of 1993, the city of Fremont acquired ownership of the depot itself and began to plan its restoration. Of more than sixty "No. 23"-style depots constructed by Southern Pacific between 1896 and 1916, less than a dozen exist today and the Centerville depot is the only one used in rail passenger service.
