First of all, John Williams has nothing to hide, in fact, everything he has said and done it a matter of public record. If NWP was private, you wouldn't here or see anything. Case in point, does anybody call the UP to ask about anything a railfan might be interested, WELL of course not. If you are lucky YOU might get the attention of the P.R. Dept. otherwise they will tell you to pound salt. John Williams, and Woodside Consulting are the Premier Railroad Consulting Group in America with contracts at times with almost all Class 1 and some Class Two Railroads. The have done ground breaking work with many transit agencies across the country in both heavy and light rain. The group brings many years of experience working for major railroads including the Southern Pacific. Allan DeMoss was a VP of SP. Finally, I go to the NCRA meetings because I have interest like yourselves in what is happening with the NWP. The meetings are open to the public and the agendas and supporting documents are at the meetings for your inspection. So IF YOU ARE REALLY interested then you will take the time, once a month to show up and answer your own questions.
