Drew, I'm gonna disagree with you one this one...with a proviso. I feel that there is
certainly justification for rail service in Sonoma County to at least as far as Windsor,
just North of Santa Rosa. There is enough light industry here to support it. I have
said earlier that you will never see another train venture up the Eel River Canyon to
Eureka though, and I stand by that. Those days are gone for good...unless some high
volume traffic surfaces that we are not aware of, and even then, I still would bet against
it.
