In the morning hours of December 25, 2015, the Shell Gas Station located at 90 Mt. Herman Road reported that a man was slumped over the wheel of his vehicle. Scotts Valley Police Department Officers responded to the call.

Around noon on Monday, December 28, while the train was on the tracks looping around Bear Mountain, it was unable to come to a stop and rolled forward into a dirt hillside. Apparently the train’s throttle was stuck as it was coming to a stop on the tracks during a point of the trip where the vehicles switch to head back in reverse, according to Felton Fire Protection Chief Ron Rickabaugh.
