  • Santa Cruz Branch Line Economic Analysis
    THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE AUGUST 2004 DRAFT SANTA CRUZ BRANCH LINE BUSINESS PLAN ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT SANTA CRUZ BRANCH LINE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Prepared for: Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Prepared by: Alta Transportation Consulting, Inc. R.L. Banks Associates November 2002 I. INTRODUCTION A. Summary of Analysis Alta Transportation Consultants, Inc., and R. L. Banks Associates (collectively, "Alta/Banks") are pleased to present this economic analysis of potential short line freight operations on the Santa Cruz Branch Line (the "Branch Line") following acquisition by the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission. Based on the data and analysis presented below, Alta/Banks concludes that the Commission’s assumption of freight operations on the Branch Line may be economically viable. The actual financial performance of the freight operations ultimately will depend on the interchange rate – that is, the division of freight shipping revenues between Branch Line operations (which will be received by the Commission and/or its short line contractor) and the main line operations (which will be received by Union Pacific Railroad (“UP”) for carrying the freight from Pajaro Junction to its ultimate destination). Alta/Banks projects that, depending on the interchange rate with UP, short line freight operations on the Branch Line, with the short line operator responsible for routine and program maintenance of the trackage, are likely to see an annual profit/loss range of a $391,000 loss to a profit of $41,000. In order to enable potential short line bidders to project reasonably profitable operations and submit favorable bids to the Commission, Alta/Banks projects that a freight interchange rate of $440 per carload would need to negotiated with UP.
