The Operator for Northwestern Pacific Corporation (NWPco) is
represented by former Congressman Doug Bosco and he had some interesting
updates on freight news for the NCRA rail. Doug said there was escalating
interest in goods movement and announced that they were close to an agreement
with Innovative Molding caps. (They make plastic caps for many products.) There would be
the need for a rail spur to the factory near Rohnert Park at the cost of
$600,000. Of that expense SMART is liable to $400,000 per an agreement for rights for rail
use, but SMART might fight that in the end.
Mendocino Forest Product wants to use the rail for freight. They feel it could be cost effective if they could trans-load in Windsor or Petaluma. Humboldt Redwood would be a future target. “Willits is our dream for trans-loading,” Doug said, noting that was not a pipe dream.

What about those cars of toxic gunk the NWP left sitting on SMART tracks? Those ever get moved?
You mean the same stuff used to power your car?
I don't think so, but maybe!
Word is it is used to add to California gas
