Dear Drew: Standard Structures in Windsor has been a loyal NWP customer and will return to the NWP once it reopens. They manufacture pre-fab trusses for new home starts, and large buildings that require free standing roofs. They manufacture trusses up to 100 feet long. They again will receive inbound lumber (quite a bit of it) and ship the outbound manufactured trusses. Because of restrictions of long loads on 101, they have not be able to ship their specialized oversized loads.. Mead Clark Lumber will also come back to rail as well Dairymans in Novato and Petaluma and Hunt and Berhens Milling in Petaluma. Sonoma County Landfill is near capacity and wants to move the garbage to a land fill next to to the UP in Fernley, Nv. Team tracks in Novato, Petaluma, Cotati, Rhonert Park, and Santa Rosa will attract inbound loads. All of this is on line in the NCRA Business plan. Sand and gravel will also move back to rail because of the reduced costs.
