Sierra Northern, Woodland branch, status
Author: Question
Date: 02-18-2021 - 09:14

The Sierra Ry. was granted permission to abandon 0.7 miles of the line to Woodland that crosses the Sacramento Weir.

Question: Have they halted all train service to Woodland yet?

The STB decision mentions the possibility of a new connection in Woodland. Anyone know the status of that? Suspect it would be way to expensive to build.

Quote from 6/22/2020 STB decision:

Quote:
Under the Realignment Project discussed by Sierra, a new connection could be
constructed from the terminus of the Woodland Branch to a rail line owned by Union Pacific
Railroad Company (UP) and leased by the California Northern Railroad (CFNR).

Aerial maps in the Board’s Railroad Map Depot show that the Woodland Branch
terminates within a few hundred feet of the UP/CFNR line, see STB R.R. Map Depot, Nat’l Rail
Network Map, [arcg.is] (enter “Main Street, Woodland, CA” in search box) (last
visited June 12, 2020), and a 1981 U.S. Geological Survey topographical map appears to show
that a connection between the Woodland Branch and the UP/CFNR line existed at one time, see
U.S. Geological Survey, Woodland Quadrangle, California-Yolo Co. Topographical Map (1952,
photorevised 1981), [ngmdb.usgs.gov] (last visited June 12, 2020) (the topographical map is
available through the U.S. Geological Survey’s TopoView website at [ngmdb.usgs.gov] (click on “Get Maps” and enter
“Woodland, CA” into search field.)). Under the Realignment Project, the connection between
the two rail lines would be constructed a few hundred feet north of where this previous
connection appears to have existed. (Suppl., V.S. Beard, Ex. A-9.)
