The '''Carrizo Gorge Railway''' ([[Association of American Railroads|AAR]] [[reporting mark]] '''CZRY''') was created in [[2001]] to provide passenger and freight service along the [[San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway]] line between [[Tijuana]], [[Mexico]] and [[Plaster City, California]]. The other freight operator on the SD&AE, the [[San Diego and Imperial Valley Railroad|SD&IV]], did not want to invest the $5.5 million dollars necessary to repair the collapsed tunnels and bridges in the Carrizo Gorge. The owners of CZRY, however, believed that the investment would be worthwhile and negotiated trackage rights on the line. The agreement required a fee of 6.9% of the gross revenues from any freight on the SD&AE's ''Desert Line'' to Plaster City and $200 per car on any car that would have been brought by the SD&IV to the ''Coast Line''.

Sand hauling is the primary business for the CZRY. The sand is used in making ready-mixed [[concrete]] for the construction markets in [[San Diego County]]. There is also minor traffic of other goods between the U.S. and Mexico. Rail car storage is another revenue source.

*I am an [[inclusionist]]. Every book by an important author and all books considered important deserve their own [[Wikipedia]] article.
