Its interesting that no-one is aware of Allan Hemphill "North Coast Rails with Trails Coalition" The have appeared before the SMART Board in open session (I am personally aware and was at the two SMART meetings in which he appeared) He has 21 signed letters from customers who want rain service between Cloverdale and Willits. Redwood National Lumber Co. in Cloverdale has promised to ship a minimum of 400 loads a year. He is expected to file with the STB next week with a OFA on this segment of the legacy NWP. I am not a troll and I am not making this up. Included among the wanting rail service Arte the four lumber Companies in Ukiah operated by Mendocino Forest Products. As far as the ROW, there is a breach at Bear Creek north of Redwood Vally,a slide at MP 127 and the fire blocked 1786 foot tunnel in the Russian River Canyon.
