South Pacific Coast: A Centennial (Pages 224-260)
Two excerpts of a book about the Southern Pacific Company, a railroad corporation dominant in Santa Cruz County in the decades around 1900. The prior, larger excerpt details Boulder Creek as the headquarters of operations; the second article, starting at page 25 of the file, looks directly at the history of the Santa Cruz & Felton Railroad.
