The document was posted showing the payment structure between SMART and NCRA. Where did you get 50K out of there?

You're probably that clown from the nwp fansite who likes to says stuff that divulges very widely from the truth and then claim he's "not from 'round here" when he gets called on his totally wrong b.s.

I went to the trouble of reading the part of the documnt re: paymnts. NWP pays a maintenance royalty per mile per car. 75 cents per mile. That amounts to probably $20 per car if you figure each car travels 30 miles in travelling from Novato to Petaluma and back again.

NWP maintains the Schellville branch at their expense.

NWP pays for dispatching by SMART and for the bridge tender to open the bridge.
