Mr. Hemphill owns and serves on the boards of many high end wineries in Sonoma County. He is a licensed realtor and investor. He probably has a net worth well in the millions. He also served on the board of the NCRA. If he is so convinced the NWP reopened to Willits could turn a profit why does he not create a railroad company and resume freight service to Willits.Put your money were your mouth is. Too risky. The only service Willits will ever get is lip service. As far as the ROW goes Mike only points out the two worst sections. He knows better.It would cost hundreds of millions to reopen to Willits for a handful of carloads.Give SMART about two more years .All freight will be gone .
