To Shiny Rails

The Betteravia Branch of the SMVRR

by on Feb.22, 2014, under Friends-SMVRR, SMVRR

The Friends of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad toured the Betteravia Branch of the railroad today. The line was constructed from Guadalupe in the late 1800s to serve the Union Sugar Mill in Betteravia. We visited three stations along the way – Iremel, Bragur, and Barsug – which were primarily beet dumps. We also visited the Green Canyon Trestle, did a quick run of the Betteravia townsite tour, and toured Caboose #210 at the Guadalupe Amtrak station.
