From the NCRA's NORTH COAST RAILROAD AUTHORITY (NCRA)
2006 STRATEGIC PLAN and PROGRESS REPORT:
One estimate has suggested that if the railroad is reopened and the port container handling facilities are upgraded, up to 1,000 containers per day double-stacked could be moved to and from the Port of Humboldt Bay to the national rail system. Using an average revenue per railcar of $1,000, this results in $130 million per year based on a five-day per week hauling schedule.
