Actually...the NWP was originally built as an independent railroad. Here is the timeline:


Originally built as narrow gauge North Pacific Coast Railroad. (unknown year)



Purchased in 1902 by Eugene de Salba & John Martin.



Tracks were standard gauged and electrified in 1903.



Name changed to North Shore Railroad in 1903.



AT&SF gains control of North Shore Railroad in Dec. 1904.



AT&SF sells 50% of North Shore Railroad to SP in 1906.



Northwestern Pacific Railroad was formed in 1907, absorbing North Shore Railroad and several smaller railroads.



AT&SF sells remaining 50% of NWP to SP in 1927, giving SP full control over NWP.



Electric operations end on February 28, 1941.
