Description

Two boxcars, one of which toppled onto the bed of a pickup truck, jumped the tracks at Farley Road in 1956. This was possibly the last, but certainly not the first, derailment in Los Gatos. On December 24th, 1906, a Santa Cruz-bound train jumped the tracks past Vasona following heavy rains. If not for steel coaches, far more serious casualties would have occurred when cars slid down the banks of Los Gatos Creek. JON069
