Hi Skip,
Yes when it is all said and done we will have about the same amount of trackage as the Loop. We will even parallel a highway and feature two loops of track and 3% grades. Pretty yes. lots of true California history yes,( the ranch was founded in 1774 as a Spanish mission) but not as spectacular as the G.town loop and the Rockies.
Find the time and come out for a visit us sometime.we will put on a California Ranch style BBQ (Yum!)
Besides the railroad and good food we also have good good music. We can pick up KPIG radio here.
