The video is long (3hrs 15 min) so I'll skip it this time. From the little you wrote it sounds like the NWP freight operation is under scrutiny? Does the NWP frieght business operate at a loss?

There was an article recently about a state grant:

‘Huge victory’: SMART gets money needed for Healdsburg extension

"SMART is in line to get an $81 million state grant that would provide what’s needed to extend the rail line and its pedestrian and bike path from Windsor to Healdsburg."

(Some good photos of track construction).
