The Santa Cruz & Felton Railroad was created in 1874, and was absorbed by the South Pacific Coast Railroad (SPC) in 1880. The SPC was bought out by Southern Pacific (SP) in the 1880s. SP broad-gauged the tracks, enlarged the Mission Hill tunnel, and built the Union Depot. The remaining section of track more-or-less follows the original SC&F route - Felton to Santa Cruz. It is used today by the Santa Cruz, Big Trees & Pacific Railroad.
