Author: about trucks?

What trucks? The non-exsistant containers from the "proposed" container port? Or the non-exsistant gravel from the "proposed" mines in Willits, Island Mountain and beyond. These are the reasons the NWP wants to operate, and the number of train cars is estimated to be 10 times or more the "exsisting" frieght such as garbage and lumber. So the argument that we need the NWP is to get "trucks of the road" is bogus. If they really operate under those conditions they will cause more air and noise pollution and congestion at the over 150 at-grade crossings without a significant impact on the traffic levels of 101.
