> So they have a nice shop. Reminds me of Cloverdale . The have a nice depot.Its never had a passenger train but SMART is on its way..... someday.. The NWP north of Cloverdale is stated to become "The Great Redwood trail" (Not just the Redwood trail its going to be great) No room for both a bike path and an operating RR Between Cloverdale and Hopland in the Russian river canyon. The RR is built on a narrow ledge with a steep embankment on the river side and a even steeper cut into the hillside that is subject to sliding. Add the cost of routing through or around five tunnels and it would make no sense to have a combination bike path and operating RR to Willits.And of course we all know how much Union Pacific would love to have some more loose carloads.
