Nice to know that most are now available publicly. I downloaded the Boulder Creek Branch, "Olympia-Los Gatos" Branch, and Loma Prieta Branch issues, and also found a valuation report for the Santa Cruz & Pajaro Valley Railroad, which had some good information. Perhaps most helpful was the confirmation that most of the early documents for these subsidiaries were lost in the 1906 San Francisco fires. Ocean Shore material is annoyingly still locked up, although the abandonment filings are present. I still have to dig around for Davenport Branch passenger abandonment records, Newell Creek Branch records, and anything that may relate to the Dougherty Extension Railroad.
